Sister of love lorn Poets PhilomelA
How many Bards in city garret pentB
While at their window they with downward eyeC
Mark the faint lamp beam on the kennell'd mudD
And listen to the drowsy cry of WatchmenE
Those hoarse unfeather'd Nightingales of TimeF
How many wretched Bards address thy nameG
And hers the full orb'd Queen that shines aboveH
But I do hear thee and the high bough markI
Within whose mild moon mellow'd foliage hidJ
Thou warblest sad thy pity pleading strainsK
O I have listen'd till my working soulA
Waked by those strains to thousand phantasiesK
Absorb'd hath ceas'd to listen Therefore oftL
I hymn thy name and with a proud delightM
Oft will I tell thee Minstrel of the MoonN
'Most musical most melancholy' BirdO
That all thy soft diversities of toneP
Tho' sweeter far than the delicious airsK
That vibrate from a white arm'd Lady's harpQ
What time the languishment of lonely loveH
Melts in her eye and heaves her breast of snowR
Are not so sweet as is the voice of herS
My Sara best beloved of human kindT
When breathing the pure soul of tendernessK
She thrills me with the Husband's promis'd nameG

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
