¶Liedtext

Sweet bird, that charm'st the hour of eve, Still mindful of the ancient wrong, While list'ning fairies learn to grieve And pay with tears thy plaintive song; What echo sweet these shades along Shall kindly bear thy descant 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 grief despise, Echo a sadder tale shall learn, Thy poet loves, and weeps, and dies.
