“when ripen&039;d fields and azure skies

call&039;d forth the reapers&039; rtlg noise,

i saw thee leave their ev&039;ng joys,

and lonely stalk,

to vent thy bo&039;s swellg rise,

pensive walk

“when youthful love, war-bshg, strong,

keen-shiverg, shot thy nerves along,

those aents grateful to thy tongue,

th&039; adored na,

i taught thee how to pour ng,

to othe thy f

“i saw thy pulse&039;s addeng py,

wild send thee pleasure&039;s devio way,

and, like a passg thought, she fled
