To Althea From Prison Lyrics - Fairport Convention

When love, with unconfined wings, hovers within my gates 

And my divine ALTHEA 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 THAMES 

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
