SONGS OE THE AFFECTIONS.
Thine is the breeze that, murmuring bland
As music, wafts the lover's sigh ;
And bids the yielding heart expand
In love's delicious ecstasy.
Fair star ! though I be doomed to prove
That rapture's tears are mix'd with pain ;
Ah ! still I feel 'tis sweet to love, —
But sweeter to be loved again.
WHERE SHALL THE LOVER REST?
Sir Walter Scott, born 1771, died 1832. From " Mannion."
Where shall the lover rest,
Whom the fates sever
From his true maiden's breast^
Parted for ever ?
Where through groves deep and high
Sounds the far billow,
Where early violets die
Under the willow.
Eleu loro.
Soft shall be his pillow.
