The Birds

字號(hào):


     He. Where thou dwellest, in what grove,
     Tell me Fair One, tell me Love;
     Where thou thy charming nest dost build,
     O thou pride of every field!
     She. Yonder stands a lonely tree,
     There I live and mourn for thee;
     Morning drinks my silent tear,
     And evening winds my sorrow bear.
     He. O thou summer's harmony,
     I have liv'd and mourn'd for thee;
     Each day I mourn along the wood,
     And night hath heard my sorrows loud.
     She. Dost thou truly long for me?
     And am I thus sweet to thee?
     Sorrow now is at an end,
     O my Lover and my Friend!
     He. Come, on wings of joy we'll fly
     To where my bower hangs on high;
     Come, and make thy calm retreat
     Among green leaves and blossoms sweet.
