Bend hither thy light waving pinion,
And show me the gloss of thy neck ;

And turn up thy bright eye and peck.
Here is bread of the whitest and sweetest,
And there gs a sip of red wine ;
Though thy wing is the lightest and fleetest, |

With thy wing quill, a soft billet doux,

Like a cloud in the dim distance Raeting,
Like an arrow he hurries away 3
And firther and larther retreating,
