wild Flow ers.

wild Flower
How love the modest flowers,
In the groves SO wildly blooming,
And from out their lcafy bowers,
All around with sweets pertaining!
when the rosy morn appears,
And the glowing sunbeams grectu
Smiling through their dewy tears,
o how Joyousy they meet us,
While the lark i, upward sprlngins
Aud the air with music ringing!
But OF all the flowrets gay,
Often blooming here 50 brightly,
When the summer breezes play
mid their fairy bowers lightly,
None to me are half 80 clear
As the wild appearing,
With fair lilies rising near,
And their lovely forms uprearin9:
Oft have in gleesome childhood,
Gathered them beside the wildwood.
But alas they now are gone:
All those gentle forms have persisted
Save a rose that blooms alone
mid the flowers fondy cherished.
All! too soon they passed away,
And l wander there in sadness,
For those fowrets once SO gay,
Filling oft my soul with gladncss,
Mind me of dear friends departed,
And survivors, broken-hearted.
