O hear our prayer, O hither come From thy lamented SHAKSPEAR'S tomb, On which thou lov'st to sit at eve, Musing o'er thy darling's grave...
الصفحة 39 - Joy, rose-lipt dryad, loves to dwell In sunny field or mossy cell ; Delights on echoing hills to hear The reaper's song, or lowing steer ; Or view, with tenfold plenty spread, The crowded corn-field, blooming mead ; While beauty, health, and innocence, Transport the eye, the soul, the sense.
