Explore "Amatory Lines" by Thomas Gray on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
With beauty, with pleasure surrounded, to languish --
To weep without knowing the cause of my anguish; / To start from short slumbers, and wish for the morning --
To close my dull eyes when I see it returning; / Sighs sudden and frequent, looks ever dejected --
Words that steal from my tongue, by no meaning connected!
Ah! say, fellow-swains, how these symptoms befell me?
They smile, but reply not -- Sure Delia will tell me!
