Fairport Convention - To Althea From Prison Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • When love, with unconfined wings, hovers within my gates
  • And my ?divine now fear? brings to whisper at my grates
  • When I lie tangled in her hair and fettered with her eye
  • Birds that wanton in the air know no such liberty
  • When flowing cups run swiftly round with no allaying ?tense?
  • Our careless heads with roses crowned, our hearts with royal flames
  • When first decreeth in wine we steep when healths and rafts run free
  • Fishes that tipple in the deep know no such liberty
  • Stone walls do not a prison make not iron bars a gate
  • Minds innocent and quiet take that as a hermitage
  • If I have freedom in my love and in my soul am free
  • Angels alone that soar above enjoy such liberty

    • Report error in lyric
