Theodora |
O that I on Wings could riſe, |
O that I on wings could rise, |
Swiftly ſailing through the Skies, |
Swiftly sailing through the skies, |
As skims the ſilver Dove; |
As skims the silver dove; |
That I might reſt, |
That I might rest, |
For ever bleſt, |
For ever blest, |
With Harmony and Love. |
With harmony and love. |
