Ah! let me linger at thy side,
And sing some sweet old song,
That tells of hearts as true and tried,
As to ourselves belong.
The love, whose light thy colours give,
Is kindled at the heart;
And who shall bid its influence live,
My Raphael, if we part?
The portrait from which this engraving is taken, is the one in the Berlin gallery;—a portrait late researche s ascertain to be the genuine one.
