n wake. love, wake Can such an hour
Re lent alone TO slumber's power!
Ono twas made
For the moon light walks where lovers meet,
And the silver songs, and the music sweet
Of their serenade.
And rise, love, risel The Queen of night
Cobraids thy rest, for her smiles are bright
On thy easement now;
And the fairest forms of love and bliss
Are awake and abroad in night hike this,
Then where art thou?
o quit, love, quit those visions blese,
That hover around thy couch OF ress,
From realms above;
FORGET. If thou canst, the halcyon theme,
And wake to as holy, as happy dream,
The dream of love.
And bark, love, bark to yon melody faint,
IT'S the song of the nightingale pouring her
plant
To the starry ray !;
But the only orbs that can cheer my night,
And bless my song with their looks of light,
Oh! where are they?
And list, love, Inst Mid the Shence around
Thou shalt hear beside the murmur'd sound
Of thy lovers lay,
AS he sings that the earth and skies are dim,
And the beauty OF night hath no beauty for him,
While thou art away.
Then wake thee, wake thou sweetest flower,
And quit, for moment, thy virgin bower,
For thy true loves sake;
There is nought to harm thee, around or on
high,
The earth is tranquil. and so is the sky,
Then wake, love, wake
She hears, she wakes from her window far,
The well known sound of her lovers guitar
Hath caught her ear;
And see at her easement she takes her stand:
And waving slow her lily hand,
She watts kiss to her cavalier.
