Under the lindens
Language: English
Under the lindens lately sat A couple, and no more, in chat; I wondered what they would be at Under the lindens. I saw four eyes and four lips meet, I heard the words How sweet! how sweet! Had then the Faeries given a treat Under the lindens? I pondered long and could not tell What dainty pleased them both so well: Bees! bees! was it your hydromel Under the lindens?
