Shady walks & summer bowers
I will form for thy repose to give thee thee shade
Bring thee berries grapes & flowers
All in rose-wreathed baskets laid
When thy wearied feet would rest
There untired thy bard shall be
Braiding myrtles o'er thy nest
Fair & fragrant veil for thee.
Every grief & every care
Every sorrow, every sigh –
O were I alone to bear
I would bear them joyfully
Ne'er should though of mine annoy
The calm current of they days
Even Thy whims caprice should be my joy
And thy wayward will my praise.
Whether Pain or pleasure be my lot
If thy favor wast light on me
I would bear & murmur not –
Patient – or in extacy.
