Capel Lofft - Love's Likeness lyrics

"Just like love the balmy rose:" For ah their sweets have many a thorn; And tempests chase their early morn; Serenely calm each rarely glows. But when enchanting music flows Then pure and full delight is born, And anxious care and woe forlorn Are lull'd into divine repose!-- Just like love blest music breathes: But with her bliss no pang enwreaths.-- Like love, ere d**h, or fear, or pain Invaded those primæval bowers Where the first parents hail'd the reign Of harmony mid angel-powers.
