Felicia Dorothea Hemans - Song 1
Work rating: Low

OH! bear me to the groves of palm,
	Where perfum`d airs diffuse their balm!
	And when the noon-tide beams invade,
	Then lay me in the embow`ring shade;
	Where Bananas o`er my head,
	Mingling with the Tam`rind spread;
	Where the long liannes combining,
	Wild festoons of flow`rs entwining;
	Fragrant cassia, softly blowing,
	Lime and orange, ever glowing;
	All their spicy breath exhale,
	To scent the pleasure-fanning gale.

	There her sweet ambrosial stores,
	Nature in profusion pours;
	
	The cocoa`s nectar let me sip,
	The citron`s juice refresh my lip;
	While around me hovering play
	Birds, in radiant plumage gay;
	And amidst the foliage, raise
	Melodies, in varied lays.
	There, in aromatic bow`rs,
	Be mine to pass the summer-hours;
	Or by some clear cascade reclin`d;
	Whose dashing sound may lull the mind,
	Wake the lyre and tune the song,
	Scenes of paradise among!
