AVE ye seen the morning sky, When the dawn prevails on high, When, anon, some purply ray Gives a sample of the day, 4When, anon, the lark, on wing, Strives to soar, and strains to sing?
Have ye seen the ethereal blue Gently shedding silvery dew, 8Spangling o'er the silent green, While the nightingale, unseen, To the moon and stars, full bright, Lonesome chants the hymn of night? 12
Have ye seen the broid'red MayAll her scented bloom display, Breezes opening, every hour, This, and that, expecting flower, 16While the mingling birds prolong, From each bush, the vernal song?
Have ye seen the damask-rose Her unsully'd blush disclose, 20Or the lilly's dewy bell, In her glossy white, excell, Or a garden vary'd o'er With a thousand glories more? 24
By the beauties these display, Morning, evening, night, or day, By the pleasures these excite, Endless sources of delight! 28Judge, by them, the joys I find, Since my Rosalind was kind, Since she did herself resign To my vows, for ever mine. 32
AVE ye seen the morning sky, When the dawn prevails on high, When, anon, some purply ray Gives a sample of the day, 4When, anon, the lark, on wing, Strives to soar, and strains to sing?
