Lo, where with flowery head
Language: English
Lo, where with flowery head and hair all brightsome, Rosy-cheek'd, crystal-eyed ev'n weeping lightsome, The fresh Aurora springeth, And wanton Flora flingeth Amorous odours unto the winds delightsome. Ah, for pity and anguish. Only my heart, only my heart doth languish.
