LYRICAL AND DRAMATIC.
So, birds, are you shy to awake
Your voices to laughter-tuned numbers ?
So, sun, do you tremble to shake
The dews of the night from our slumbers ?
Eveline!
So, breeze, too reluctant to take
The dews of the night from our slumbers?
Light breaks, and the breezes caress
Cool limbs and soft eyes and fair faces ;
The nightingales carol to bless
The dawn of our nuptial embraces,
Eveline!
The woods wear a lovelier dress
In the dawn of our nuptial embraces!
