"O dove with wings of silver, when you fly, The feathers shine and glisten in my view. And oh, how sweet your song is! Would that I Could learn it.... Teach me, dove, to sing like you. Your pleasant notes, and your sweet rhymes of love; The sun goes down and lights the stars above. Your pleasant notes, and your sweet rhymes of love; The sun goes down and lights the snows above."
