Lines Upon Mademoiselle Delphine Saulot Singing Some Equisite Airs In The Gardens Of Mousseau, Near Paris.
by John Carr (1793–1845)
In Mousseau’s sweet Arcadian dale Fair Delphine pours the plaintive strain; She charms the list’ning nightingale, And seems th’ enchantress of the plain. Bless’d be those lips, to music dear; Sweet songstress! never may they move But with such sounds, to soothe the ear, And melt the yielding heart to love. May sorrow never bid them pour From the torn heart one suff’ring sigh; But be thy life a fragrant flow’r, Blooming beneath a cloudless sky!
