Fainting upon his Phœbe’s breast.


TO ⸺.

Revolving years another May-day bring;

Earth at this bridal season’s glad return

Blooms forth again in bridal robes of spring,

Expectant, waiting, trembling, all things yearn.

Cries then aloud the voice I thought was slain,

Calls as of yore my stormy deep to thine;
