To Rosa.
By Thomas Moore
Is the song of Rosa mute? Once such lays inspired her lute! Never doth a sweeter song Steal the breezy lyre along, When the wind, in odors dying, Woos it with enamor'd sighing. Is my Rosa's lute unstrung? Once a tale of peace it sung To her lover's throbbing breast-- Then was he divinely blest! Ah! but Rosa loves no more, Therefore Rosa's song is o'er; And her lute neglected lies; And her boy forgotten sighs. Silent lute--forgotten lover-- Rosa's love and song are over!
