TIE BLUSH

Roseate tint of purest virtue,
Bloom ethereal, blush divine,
Bidding, by thy sweet effusion,

More than forms most perfect grace,
Touching the fond heart, and giving
Softest charms to every face.

Jewel in the dover of youth;
Modesty's unquestion'd herald,
Pledge of innocence and truth.

Trembling consciousness display'di

Catch the rainbow ere it fade.
