Lyrics: "After the Italian"

Come, o haste thee, beauteous Spring,
To deck once more the teeming earth;
Come, o haste, and with thee bring
Gentle love and smiling mirth.

The melting frosts bedew the way
Where'er thy flow'ry footsteps tread;
The morning breezes round thee play;
Perfumes the flutt'ring zephyrs spread.
Come, o haste, and with thee bring
Gentle love and smiling Spring.

She comes. Behold, o'er yonder hill
The rising verdure marks her way;
Now let the pipe exert its skill
And virgin voices chant the lay.
