Time has not thinn'd my flowing hair
Language: English
Time has not thinn'd my flowing Hair, Nor bent me with his Iron Hand; Ah! why so soon the Blossom tear, E'er Autumn yet the Fruit demand! Let me enjoy the chearful Day 'Til many a Year has o'er me roll'd, Pleas'd let me trifle Life away, And sing of Love e'er I grow old.
