There is a maid, a gentle maid, Her arm has many a time reclined With tangled wreaths, and stems And once, it was a pleasant day, And thousand blossoms bloomed the When, on that ivy-seat reclined, Then, as the gentle maid stood near Of yon tall beech he sweetly sung : The maid with mute attention hung On every note that sounded in his lay. And that sweet warbling, in her face Called up a new and lively grace, That warbling moulded every look; And feelings born of sound bid rise Soft radiance in her kindling eyes, And all her frame with sweet emotion shook. Then in each feature I could see The silent joy that o'er her stole. And when the bird had sung his lay, He left the beech's topmost spray, And as he flew he chattered shrill; Yet still her eyes the maiden raised To yon tall beech, yet still she gazed As though the bird sat there and warbled still.
