WHEN LOVE WITH UNCONFINED WINGS HOVERS WITHIN MY GAZE
AND MY DIVINE ALTHEA BRINGS TO WHISPER AT MY GRATES
WHEN I LIE TANGLED IN HER HAIR AND FETTERED WITH HER EYES
BIRDS THAT WANTON WING THE AIR OH KNOW SUCH LIBERTY
WHEN FLOWING CUPS RUN SWIFTLY ROUND WITH NO ALLAYING THAMES
OUR CARELESS HEADS WITHE ROSES CROWNED OUR HEARTS WITH LOYAL FLAME
WHEN FIRST IN GRIEF IN WINE WE STEEP WHEN HEALTHS AND LAUGHS RUN FREE
FISHES THAT TIPPLE IN THE DEEP OH KNOW SUCH LIBERTY
STONE WALLS DO NOT A PRISON MAKE NOR IRON BARS A CAGE
MINDS INNOCENT AND QUIET MAKE THAT AS A HERMITAGE
IF I HAVE FREEDOM IN MY LOVE AND IN MY SOUL AM FREE
ANGELS ALONE WOULD SOAR ABOVE ENJOY SUCH LIBERTY.
