James Thomson - To Amanda - Come, Dear Amanda, Quit The Town
Work rating: Low

Come, dear Amanda, quit the town, 
And to the rural hamlets fly; 
Behold! the wintry storms are gone; 
A gentle radiance glads the sky. 
The birds awake, the flowers appear, 
Earth spreads a verdant couch for thee; 
`Tis joy and music all we hear, 
`Tis love and beauty all we see. 
Come, let us mark the gradual spring, 
How peeps the bud, the blossom blows; 
Till Philomel begins to sing, 
And perfect May to swell the rose. 
E`en so thy rising charms improve, 
As life`s warm season grows more bright; 
And opening to the sighs of love, 
Thy beauties glow with full delight.
