wade the day A mong the birks of
En-— der-may.
Soon wears the fummer of the year,
And love like winter will appear ;
Like this your lively bloom will fade,
And that will ftrip the verdant made :
Our tafte for pieal'ure then is o'er,
1 he feather'd fongfters charm no more ;
And, when they droop and we decay*
Adieu the birks of Endermay !
Behold, the hills and vales around
With lowing herds and flocks abound ;
The wanton kids and frifking lambs
Gambol and dance about their dams ;
The bufy bees, with hamming noife,
And all the reptile kind, rejoice :
Let us, like them, then, fmg and play
About the birks of Endermay.
Hark, how the waters, as they falf,
Loudly my love togladnefs call ;
The wanton waves fport in the beams,.
And fifties play throughout the ftreams ;
The circling fun does now advance,
And all the planets round him dance i
Let us as jovial be as they,
Among the birks of Endermay !
