Transcription
Gentle breath of melting sorrow,
Pleasure doth thy garment borrow!
Love on thee is silent hung,
Silence takes from thee a tongue!
Pleasing sweet without a word,
Gently felt, and softly heard,
Never seen, tho' known to be
Child of Sensibility!
Thou alike to rapture free,
Rapture sweetly speaks in thee,
Child of Sensibility!
