¶Liedtext

Sweet bird, that charm'st the hour of eve, Still mindful of thy ancient wrong, Whilst list'ning fairies learn to grieve, And pay with tears thy plaintive song; What echo sweet these shades along Shall kindly bear thy distant strain; Where Laura, while its sounds convey Soft pity for thy tender pain, Ah! envied bird, shall bless thy lay. "Sing on, sweet bird", the maid shall say; "Cease, cruel maid", the fays return, Nor strains of nearer grief despise; Echo a sadder tale shall learn: Thy poet loves and weeps and dies.
