Part 4 — UNDER THE LINDENS
Reading edition
Under the lindens lately sat A couple, and no more, in chat; I wondered what they would be at Under the lindens.
I saw four eyes and four lips meet, I heard the words, "How sweet! how sweet!" Had then the Fairies given a treat Under the lindens?
I pondered long and could not tell What dainty pleased them both so well: Bees! bees! was it your hydromel Under the lindens?
Walter Savage Landor [1775-1864]
