Poem by George Darley

Lenimina Laborum. 1. To Rhodanthe

Nymph!! release me from this rich attire!
Take off this crown thy artful fingers wove;
And let the wild-rose linger on the brier
Its last, sweet days, my Love!

For me shalt thou, with thy nice-handed care,
Nought hut the simplest wreath of myrtle twine:
Such too, high-pouring Hebe's self must wear,
Serving my bower with wine! 

1. Lenimina Laborum. 55. Deep in the ocean's thundering wave
2. Lenimina Laborum. 37. The Lost One
3. Lenimina Laborum. 10. Fair as the flower is, it will yet decay
4. Lenimina Laborum. 62. On the Picture of a Girl
5. Lenimina Laborum. 14. The Fair Warning
