| CLXXXVI. A Serenade |
| |
| AH! County Guy, the hour is nigh, | |
| The sun has left the lea; | |
| The orange-flower perfumes the bower; | |
| The breeze is on the sea; | |
| The lark, his lay who thrill'd all day, | 5 |
| Sits hush'd his partner nigh: | |
| Breeze, bird, and flower confess the hour, | |
| But where is County Guy? | |
| |
| The village maid steals through the shade | |
| Her shepherd's suit to hear; | 10 |
| To Beauty shy, by lattice high, | |
| Sings high-born cavalier. | |
| The star of Love, all stars above, | |
| Now reigns o'er earth and sky, | |
| And high and low the influence know— | 15 |
| But where is County Guy? | |
