English poem
LINES Written in a beautiful Spot
by John Carr (1793–1845)
Streams ever limpid, fresh, and clear, Where Delia’s charms renew’d appear, Ye flow’rs that touch’d her snowy breast, Ye trees whereon she lov’d to rest, Ye scenes adorn’d where’er she flies, If grief shall close these woe-worn eyes, May some kind form, with hand benign, My body with this earth enshrine, That, when the fairest nymph shall deign To visit this delightful plain, That, when she views my silent shade, And marks the change her love has made, The tear may tremble down her face, As show’rs the lily’s leaves embrace; Then, like the infant at the breast, That feels a sorrow unexprest, That pang shall gentle Delia know, And silent treasure up her woe.
