Song Composed In August(3/3)
d yellow:
e let us stray dsome way,
and view the charms of nature;
the rustling , the fruited thorn,
and ev'ry happy creature.
we'll gently walk, and sweetly talk,
till the silent moon shine clearly;
i'll grasp thy waist, and, fondly prest,
swear how i love thee dearly:
not vernal show'rs to budding flow'rs,
not autumn to the farmer,
so dear be as thou to me,
my fair, my lovely charmer!
