COUNTRY MUSIC by PLATO

First Line: COME SIT ANEATH THIS PINETREE, WHOSE LOFTY TRESSED CROWN
Last Line: AND LULL THY DREAMY EYELIDS TO SWEET FORGETFUL BLISS.

COME sit aneath this pinetree, whose lofty tressed crown
Sighs as her tufty sprays stir to the west wind's kiss:
And with the babbling waters my flute thy care shall drown,
And lull thy dreamy eyelids to sweet forgetful bliss.
