SYLVIA'S SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The streams that wind among the hills
Last Line: But I will never wend from thee!
Subject(s): Love; Singing & Singers; Songs


The streams that wind among the hills,
And lost in pleasure slowly roam,
While their deep joy the valley fills,—
Ev'n these will leave their mountain home:
So may it, love! with others be,
But I will never wend from thee!

The leaf forsakes the parent spray,
The blossom quits the stem as fast,
The rose-enamoured bird will stray,
And leave his eglantine at last;
So may it, love! with others be,
But I will never wend from thee!
