The three following beautiful Stanzas by Miss A. H. to the Author . As musing I wander'd along The green banks where you often have stray'd , Where the thrush sweetly warbles her song , And primroses paint the gay mead ; I heard from the sad moaning dove , The loss of her mate who was true ; And sighs from each tree of the grove , Lamenting the absence of you . Has Cinthia a heart to refuse The wish of each nymph on the plain ; The wood , that's a friend to her Muse , Invokes her return here again .
