Here's The Bower.

By Thomas Moore

Topics: classic

Here's the bower she loved so much,         And the tree she planted;     Here's the harp she used to touch--         Oh, how that touch enchanted!     Roses now unheeded sigh;         Where's the hand to wreathe them?     Songs around neglected lie;         Where's the lip to breathe them?                     Here's the bower, etc.     Spring may bloom, but she we loved         Ne'er shall feel its sweetness;     Time, that once so fleetly moved,         Now hath lost its fleetness.     Years were days, when here she strayed,         Days were moments near her;     Heaven ne'er formed a brighter maid,         Nor Pity wept a dearer!                     Here's the bower, etc.
