Poem by George Darley

Lenimina Laborum. 6. I'm a rover! I'm a rover

I'm a rover! I'm a rover
Of the greenwood and the glade!
And I’ll teach you to discover
Every Beauty of the shade!

I'm a rover! I'm a rover
Of the woodland and the dell!
And I know the leafy cover
Where the maiden-roses dwell!

I'm a rover! I'm a rover!
Where her couch the lily keeps;
And I’ll bring you slily over—
You may kiss her as she sleeps!

I'm a rover! I'm a rover!
Where the cowslip quaffs the dew,
Where the bee delights to hover,
Come! I'll choose a cup for you!
