Blest hope of min; encliiintinOpting!
Thy throne'is matte of litidding flowers—.
Thy voice is with the birds that sing -
Among the leaves of thygreen bowers—
Thy breath is of that sweet perfume
Whichleornes*Where violets make their bed—
Thy cheek Is of the mellow bloom
That's sprinkled on the daisy's head.
Thine eye ',like the sky's deep blue—
Thy rube is of the grassy mound—
Thy'gems are of the morning dew—.
Thy footstep makei a fairy ground.
