 To Althea From Prison
 
 G     D         A      D         G               A   
 WHEN LOVE WITH UNCONFINED WINGS HOVERS WITHIN MY GAZE
    D     A     D                G             D    
 AND MY DIVINE ALTHEA BRINGS TO WHISPER AT MY GRATES
     A              D                  G                A 
 WHEN I LIE TANGLED IN HER HAIR AND FETTERED WITH HER EYES
 D          A       D               G              D 
 BIRDS THAT WANTON WING THE AIR OH KNOW SUCH LIBERTY
 
 G     D       A        D                  G           A    
 WHEN FLOWING CUPS RUN SWIFTLY ROUND WITH NO ALLAYING THAMES
 D             A           D                 G                 D   
 OUR CARELESS HEADS WITHE ROSES CROWNED OUR HEARTS WITH LOYAL FLAME
 A                      D                   G                      A  
 WHEN FIRST IN GRIEF IN WINE WE STEEP WHEN HEALTHS AND LAUGHS RUN FREE
 D            A             D       G           D   
 FISHES THAT TIPPLE IN THE DEEP OH KNOW SUCH LIBERTY
 
 G      D          A       D            G         A   
 STONE WALLS DO NOT A PRISON MAKE NOR IRON BARS A CAGE
 D      A            D           G             D  
 MINDS INNOCENT AND QUIET MAKE THAT AS A HERMITAGE
   A               D               G             A  
 IF I HAVE FREEDOM IN MY LOVE AND IN MY SOUL AM FREE
 D       A           D            G          D    
 ANGELS ALONE WOULD SOAR ABOVE ENJOY SUCH LIBERTY.
