The nightingale's high note is heard;

Seem sweet in every whisper'd word.”

Came dipping through the bowers,

To scrutinize the flowers.”

But perfidy can blast the flower,
Even when in most unwary hour
It blooms in Fancy’s bower.

But perfidy can rend the shrine
In which its vermeil splendours shine.”
