A Song [These Shades Were Made For Love Alone]

Title:     A Song [These Shades Were Made For Love Alone]
Author: Sir John Carr [More Titles by Carr]

These shades were made for Love alone,--
Here only smiles and kisses sweet
Shall play around his flow'ry throne,
And doves shall sentinel the seat.

Come, Delia! 'tis a genial day;
It bids us to his bow'r repair:--
"But what will little Cupid say?"--
"Say! sweet?--why, give a welcome there."

There not a tell-tale beam shall peep
Upon thy beauty's rich display,--
There not a breeze shall dare to sweep
The leaves, to whisper what we say.

[The end]
Sir John Carr's poem: Song [These Shades Were Made For Love Alone]
