Song

Topics: classic

Inviting the influence of a young lady upon the opening year     You wear the morning like your dress     And are with mastery crownd;     When as you walk your loveliness     Goes shining all around:     Upon your secret, smiling way     Such new contents were found,     The Dancing Loves made holiday     On that delightful ground.     Then summon April forth, and send     Commandment through the flowers;     About our woods your grace extend,     A queen of careless hours.     For O! not Vera veild in rain,     Nor Dians sacred Ring,     With all her royal nymphs in train     Could so lead on the Spring.
