Go,-whisper to the gentle one
All that our heart would say,
Ye emblems Of the fondest hopes
That crown her life to-day.
Tell her. pale lily, as thy leaves
Benign protection yield,
So would our love around her cast
A broad and verdant shield;
Breathe the prophecies Of happy years,
Thou sweet and blushing rose
Years fragrant with as pure delight
As from thy chalice flows;
And thou, meek violet, appeal
Unto her guileless heart,
And with thy quiet loneliness
Celestial dreams impart.
Interpret thus her destiny,
Whose gifts Of kindred worth,
Lend sweetness to our daily life,
And beauty to the earth:
A blooming garland, softly rest
Upon her modest brow,
And may the dew-drops ne'er exhale
That sparkle on it now.
