Classic Poem

I.

As Damon sat by Silvia 's side
And watch'd her eyes, with am'rous pride,
He gently bow'd his leaning head,
And, while it prest
Her charming breast,
Thus, the transported shepherd said.

II.

Thou smiling cause of rest, and pain!
The youth, who loves not, lives in vain .
What charms have eyes, where wishes meet!
Where souls combine,
And two hearts join,
Hope is unbounded; joy compleat.

III.

No lamb , of all the bleating care,
Looks fofter , than thy passions are:
Possessing thee, by thee, possest,
I fear no pain;
I wish no gain;
Who, that's in heav'n, would more be blest?
