From Edward Young's "Song of the Messenger Bird", his "reply" to "the Messenger Bird" (ca.1825?) by Dorothea Hemans.
(Edward Young - not the 17th/18th century English poet- probably more common as a librettist- but the 19th century author of the collection "The ladye Lillian, and other poems" (1859) and earlier works.)
