English poem
THE SKY LARK, &c, Song
by Anonymous
Does Pity give, tho' fate denies, And to my wounds her balm impart? O speak! with those expressive eyes; Let one low sigh escape thine heart.
The gazing crouds shall never guess What anxious, watchful love can see; Nor know what those soft looks express, Nor dream that sigh is meant for me.
Ah! words are useless, words are vain, Thy gen'rous sympathy to prove; And well, that sigh, those lips explain, That Clara mourns my hapless love.
