Quotes of Book: The Complete Poems
How sweet I roam'd 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 shew'd 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, And Phoebus fir'd my vocal rage;He caught me in his silken net, And shut me in his golden cage.He loves to sit and hear me sing, Then, laughing, sports and plays with me;Then stretches out my golden wing, And mocks my loss of liberty. book-quote
