¶Liedtext

While you, Felicia, heedless stray Through woods and groves, and flow'rets gay, Exempt from ev'ry fear. Secure in Stanmore's rosy bow'rs, Content her sweetest influence pours And gilds the blooming year. No anxious doubts invade thy breast, All, all is tranquil, calm, and bless'd, And joys on joys abound. Where'er thy fragrant footsteps lead, Or in the grove, or in the mead, The Graces smile around. Such ever be Felicia's fate, Such transports ever round her wait, Whom gods and men approve. Oh! may thy blessings never cease, May all her days be crown'd with peace, And all her hours be love.
