Cowper, The Task, 1785

(5) How sweet I roamed from field to field,

And tasted all the summer’s pride;

Till I the Prince of Love beheld,

Who in the sunny beams did glide.

He showed me lilies for my hair,

And blushing roses for my brow:

He led me through his gardens fair,

Where all his golden pleasures grow.

With sweet May-dews my wings were wet,
