To the Sun-Lit Mead

Oh! I can’t my beloved, if you would! Fly, or clamber to the sun-lit mead In the jade heights of there, the eastern-woods; We’d sprint to the upper cedars And down to the gorge is grave; Sit by the frozen snows Stand ‘neath the white-cloud; Recline over the tall turf, and mutely listen to the vale; Talk to the dwelling shepherds, Kiss, cuddle their she-sheep; They serve us tea, And shall smile, and would love.
