Oh gentle love, thy spirit o’er us beaming,

Doth thro’ the soul its tenderness diffuse,

E’en as the glow, from morning’s sun light streaming,

Smiles o’er the earth, and tempereth its hues

Oh! gentle love, thy spirit o’er us beaming,

Doth thro’ the soul its tenderness diffuse,

A magic all have felt and feel, how e’er they struggle to conceal

A magic all have felt and feel, how e’er they struggle to conceal,

Or as the dew upon the flowrets sleeping,

Over the leaves a distillation rains,

Which tho’ the day dissolve its pearly weeping,

Still in their heart reviving them remains.
