o lady, leave Thy siken thread

There's living roses on the bush,
And blossoms on the tree;
Sioop where thou wilt, thy careless hand
Some random bud will meet;
Thou canst not tread, but ahou wilt find
The daisy at thy feet.
'Tis like the birthday Of the world,
When earth was born iE bloom;
The light is of many dyes,
The air is all perfume;
There's crimson buds, and white 81 blue
The very rainbow show'rs
Have turned TO blossoms where they fell.
And sewn the earth with fow'rs
There's fairy tulips in the East,
The garden of The sun:
The very streams refec. the hughs
And blossoms as they run:
Awhile morn opes like crimson rose,
Sill wet with pesrly showers:
