Pinkie House
Language: English
By Pinky House oft let me walk, While, circled in my arms, I hear my Nelly sweetly talk, And gaze o'er all her charms. O let me ever fond behold Those graces void of art! Those cheerful smiles, that sweetly hold In willing chains my heart! Come, then, my love! O come along! And feed me with thy charms; Come, fair inspirer of my song! O fill my longing arms! A flame like mine can never die, While charms so bright as thine, So heav'nly fair, both please the eye, And fill the soul divine.
