¶Liedtext

Come hither, come hither, and view the face Of Nature, enroll’d in all her vernal grace:– By the hedge-row wayside flowers are springing; On the budded elms the birds are singing; And up– up– up to the gates of Heaven, Mounts the lark on the wings of her rapture driven: The streamlet is fresh and loud; On the sky, not a speck of cloud;– Come hither, come hither, and join with me, In the season’s delightful jubilee! Come hasten ye out– the reviving year As in a glass makes the past appear; And, afar from cares and strife, We bask in the sunshine of morning life– The days when Hope, from her seraph wing, Rich rainbow hues over earth did fling; The perished and past– the things of yore– Come back in the loveliest looks they wore, And faces, long hid in Oblivion’s night, Start from the darkness, and smile in light! Come hither, come hither, and join with me, In the season’s delightful jubilee! (excerpts) [under pseudonym “Delta”]
