Chapter 2 how happy
how happy i roam
Savor the best of summer
until i meet the king of love
Floating gently in the warm sunshine
He adorns my hair with lilies
Adorn my brow with blushing roses
He led me through his beautiful garden
The garden is full of his golden joy
The honeydew of May wets my wings
Phoebes ignites my passion for singing
He caught me in Rose's snare
imprison me in a golden cage
He loves to sit and listen to me sing
then laugh and play with me
spread out my golden wings
laugh at the loss of my freedom
How sweet I roamed from field to field,
And tasted all the summers pride,
Till the prince of love beheld,
Who in the sunny beams did glide!
He shewd me lilies for my hair,
And blushing roses for my brow;
He led me through his gardens fair,
Where all his golden pleasures grow.
With sweet May dews my wings were wet,
And Phoebus fid my vocal rage;
He caught me in his silken net,
And shut me in his golden cage.
He loves to sit and hear me sing,
Then, laughing, sports and plays with me;
Then stretches out my golden wing,
And mocks my loss of liberty.
