    I heard a Stock-dove sing or say
    His homely tale, this very day;
    His voice was buried among trees,
    Yet to be come at by the breeze:
    He did not cease; but cooed--and cooed:
    And somewhat pensively he wooed:
    He sang of love, with quiet blending,
    Slow to begin, and never ending;
    Of serious faith, and inward glee;
    That was the song,--the song for me!

When thro' the clouds he drives the trembling doves.

With open murmurs own their loves
And, heedless of censorious eyes,
Pursue their unpolluted joys:
