LEONARDO TO LAURA | D |
- | |
- | |
COLD blows the wind upon the mountain's brow | E |
In murmuring cadence wave the leafless woods | F |
The feath'ry tribe mope on the frozen bough | E |
And icy fetters hold the silent floods | G |
But endless spring the POET'S breast shall prove | B |
Whose GENIUS kindles at the torch of LOVE | H |
- | |
For HIM unfading blooms the fertile mind | C |
The current of the heart for ever flows | A |
Fearless His bosom braves the wintry wind | C |
While thro' each nerve eternal summer glows | A |
In vain would chilling apathy controul | I |
The lambent fire that warms the lib'ral soul | I |
- | |
To me the limped brook the painted mead | C |
The crimson dawn the twilight's purple close | J |
The mirthful dance the shepherd's tuneful reed | C |
The musky fragrance of the opening rose | A |
To me alas all pleasures senseless prove | B |
Save the sweet converse of the FRIEND I love | H |
