To linger here is death. " TO GENEVIEVE. I'll rob the hyacinth and rose, I'll search the cowslip's fragrant cell, Nor spare the breath that daily blows Her incense from the asphodel. And these shall breathe thy gentle name, Sweet Naiad of the sacred stream, 75 Where, musing, first I caught the flame, That Passion kindles in his dream. Thy soul of Music broke the spell, That bound my lyre's neglected strings ; Attuned its silent echo's shell, And loosed again his airy wings. Ah ! long had beauty...'s eyes in vain Diffused their radiant light divine ; Alas, it never woke a strain, Till inspiration beamed from thine. Thus vainly did the stars at night O'er Memnon's lyre their watch prolong, When nought but bright Aurora's light Could wake its silence into song ! THE ANGLER'S SONG. From the river's plashy bank, Where the sedge grows green and rank, And the twisted woodbine springs, Upward speeds the morning lark To its silver cloud and hark ! On his way the woodman sings. 76 On the dim and misty lakes Gloriously the morning breaks, And the eagle 's on his cloud : Whilst the wind, with sighing, woos To its arms the chaste cold ooze, And the rustling reeds pipe loud.
