Wave, wind and bark See original
Language: English
Wave that wand'rest singing by, Bearing leaves and flow'rs with thee, To the lady of my heart, Waft a benison from me. Wind that rov'st around the grove, Kissing ev'ry flower nigh, I'll send thee on a sweeter search, Bear my own true love my sigh! Bark that show'st my graven words, Thine be yet a happier lot, May'st thou meet my Maiden's eye, Bidding her: Forget me not!
