LOVE WAKES AND WEEPS.

A Duet. Arranged by Parry. Written by Sir Walter Scott.

Love wakes and weeps
While Beauty sleeps!
O for Music's softest numbers,
To prompt a theme,
For Beauty's dream,
Soft as the pillow of her slumbers!

Through groves of palm,
Sigh gales of balm,
Fire flies on the air are wheeling;
While through the gloom
Comes soft perfume,
The distant beds of flowers revealing.

O wake and live!
No dream can give
A shadowed bliss the real excelling;
No longer sleep,
From lattice peep,
And list the tale that Love is telling.
