THE date o. this poem is May l, l12i.l
Timely blossom infant fair,
Fondiing of happy pair =;
Every morn and every night
Their solicitous delight;
Sleeping. waking, still az ease,
Pleasing without skill to please
Little gossip, blithe and hale,
Tattling many broken tale,
Singing many tuneless song,
Lavish of a needless tongue
Simple maiden. void OF art.
Babbling out the very heart;
Yet abandoned to thy VIII,
Yet immagining no III.
Yet too innocent to blnSh;
Like the Ennet in the bush,
To the mother linnetS note
Moduling her little throa,
Chipping forth thy petty joys
Wanton in the change of toys
Like the linnet green in May,
Fitting to each bloc ny spray:
Weari d then and glad of rest,
Like the linnct IN the nest,
This thy present happy lot,
This in time vii! be for cot.
Othe pleasures, ether cares,
Ev, busy time prepares.
And thou shalt in thy daughter see
This picture. once :eSembled thee.
