Sweet as violet-borders growing
Over fountains ever-flowing. 20
Like the tendrels of the vine,
Do her auburn tresses twine,
Glossy ringlets all behind
Streaming buxom to the wind, 24
When along the lawn she bounds,
Light, as hind before the hounds:
And the youthful ring she fires,
Hopeless in their fond desires, 28
As her flitting feet advance,
Wanton in the winding dance.
Over fountains ever-flowing. 20
Like the tendrels of the vine,
Do her auburn tresses twine,
Glossy ringlets all behind
Streaming buxom to the wind, 24
When along the lawn she bounds,
Light, as hind before the hounds:
And the youthful ring she fires,
Hopeless in their fond desires, 28
As her flitting feet advance,
Wanton in the winding dance.
Tell me, shepherds, have ye seen
My delight, my love, my queen! 32
My delight, my love, my queen! 32
