Child's Song. From A Masque.

By Thomas Moore

Topics: classic

I have a garden of my own,         Shining with flowers of every hue;     I loved it dearly while alone,         But I shall love it more with you:     And there the golden bees shall come,         In summer-time at break of morn,     And wake us with their busy hum         Around the Siha's fragrant thorn.     I have a fawn from Aden's land,         On leafy buds and berries nurst;     And you shall feed him from your hand,      Though he may start with fear at first.     And I will lead you where he lies         For shelter in the noontide heat;     And you may touch his sleeping eyes,         And feel his little silvery feet.
