NIGHTINGALES IN LINCOLNSHIRE - ZaunköniG - 01.01.2011 NIGHTINGALES IN LINCOLNSHIRE Well I remember how the nightingale, That linger'd in the genial South so long, Made his sweet trespass, broke his ancient pale, And brought into the North his wondrous song. But, when I thought to hear his first sweet bar, He sang a mile away : I could not seek His chosen haunt, for I was faint and weak : Alas ! I cried, so near and yet so far : Kmd nature gather'd all the sounds I love About my window ; lowings of the kine, The thrush, the linnet, and the cooing dove ; But out, alas ! how should I not repine, When, scarce a mile beyond my garden grove, The night-bird warbled for all ears but mine? |
