lirik lagu richard mitchley - summer - alexander pope
a shepherd’s boy (he seeks no better name)
led forth his flocks along the silver thame
where dancing sun~beams n the waters play’d
and verdant alders form’d a quiv’ring shade
soft as he mourn’d, the streams forgot to flow
the flocks around a dumb compassion show
the naiads wept in ev’ry wat’ry bow’r
and jove consented in a silent show’r
accept, o garth, the muse’s early lays
that adds this wreath of ivy to thy bays;
hear what from love unpractis’d hearts endure
from love, the sole disеase thou canst not cure
ye shady beechеs, and ye cooling streams
defence from phoebus, not from cupid’s beams
to you i mourn, nor to the deaf i sing
the woods shall answer, and their echo ring
the gills and rocks attend my doleful lay
why art thou prouder and more hard than they?
the bleating sheep with my complaints agree
they parch’d with heat, and i inflam’d by thee
the sultry sirius burns the thirsty plains
while in thy heart eternal winter reigns
where stray ye, muses, in what lawn or grove
while your alexis pines in hopeless love?
in those fair fields where sacred isis glides
or else where cam his winding vales divides?
as in the crystal spring i view my face
fresh rising blushes paint the wat’ry glass;
but since those graces please thy eyes no more
i shun the fountains which i sought before
once i was sk!ll’d in ev’ry herb that grew
and ev’ry plant that drinks the morning dew;
ah wretched shepherd, what avails thy art
to cure thy lambs, but not to heal thy heart!
let other swains attend the rural care
feed fairer flocks, or richer fleeces shear:
but nigh yon’ mountain let me tune my lays
embrace my love, and bind my brows with bays
that flute is mine which colin’s tuneful breath
inspir’d when living, and bequeath’d in death;
he said; alexis, take this pipe, the same
that taught the groves my rosalinda’s name:
but now the reeds shall hang on yonder tree
for ever silent, since despis’d by thee
oh! were i made by some transforming pow’r
the captive bird that sings within thy bow’r!
then might my voice thy list’ning ears employ
and i those kisses he receives, enjoy
and yet my numbers please the rural throng
rough satyrs dance, and pan applauds the song:
the nymphs, forsaking ev’ry cave and spring
their early fruit, and milk~white turtles bring;
each am’rous nymph prefers her gifts in vain
on you their gifts are all bestow’d again
for you the swains the fairest flow’rs design
and in one garland all their beauties join;
accept the wreath which you deserve alone
in whom all beauties are compris’d in one
see what delights in sylvan scenes appear!
descending gods have found elysium here
in woods bright venus with adonis stray’d
and chaste diana haunts the forest shade
come lovely nymph, and bless the silent hours
when swains from shearing seek their nightly bow’rs;
when weary reapers quit the sultry field
and crown’d with corn, their thanks to ceres yield
this harmless grove no lurking viper hides
but in my breast the serpent love abides
here bees from blossoms sip the rosy dew
but your alexis knows no sweets but you
oh deign to visit our forsaken seats
the mossy fountains, and the green retreats!
where~e’er you walk, cool gales shall fan the glade
trees, where you sit, shall crowd into a shade
where~e’er you tread, the blushing flow’rs shall rise
and all things flourish where you turn your eyes
oh! how i long with you to pass my days
invoke the muses, and resound your praise;
your praise the birds shall chant in ev’ry grove
and winds shall waft it to the pow’rs above
but wou’d you sing, and rival orpheus’ strain
the wond’ring forests soon shou’d dance again
the moving mountains hear the pow’rful call
and headlong streams hang list’ning in their fall!
but see, the shepherds shun the noon~day heat
the lowing herds to murm’ring brooks retreat
to closer shades the panting flocks remove
ye gods! and is there no relief for love?
but soon the sun with milder rays descends
to the cool ocean, where his journey ends;
on me love’s fiercer flames for every prey
by night he scorches, as he burns by day
