English poem
An Inscription in the Cell
by Anonymous
Sweet bird that sing'st on yonder spray, Pursue unharm'd thy sylvan lay; While I beneath this breezy shade, In peace repose my careless head; And joining thy enraptur'd song, Instruct the world-enamour'd throng, That the contented harmless breast In solitude itself is blest.
