OH! bear me to the groves of palm, br Where perfum'd airs diffuse their balm! br And when the noon-tide beams invade, br Then lay me in the embow'ring shade; br Where Bananas o'er my head, br Mingling with the Tam'rind spread; br Where the long liannes combining, br Wild festoons of flow'rs entwining; br Fragrant cassia, softly blowing, br Lime and orange, ever glowing; br All their spicy breath exhale, br To scent the pleasure-fanning gale. br br There her sweet ambrosial stores, br Nature in profusion pours; br br The cocoa's nectar let me sip, br The citron's juice refresh my lip; br While around me hovering play br Birds, in radiant plumage gay; br And amidst the foliage, raise br Melodies, in varied lays.
