Nay, slight me notl-rm . humble thing, /
Yet mines the life Of a vernal Spring;
Summers swest breath on my cheek ha. been
And her warm flush ripens my tints of green;
Aud my meadcwy home Is decked with aow'rs
Planted by fairies in moonlit hours. q
The glist'niag dew Of the early morn,
In jeweIled spIendors, my brow has won;
The wind that lifts the scarf like mist,
With wooing love my lip has kiss'd;
And the prismy CLOVIS Of the setting Sun,
In roseate smiles, by me are won.
In the haunted shades of my matted cell,
The four-lsaved clover and cowslip dwell;
And fingers Of love delight to trace BE
The sibylline love Of my dwelling place;
loves silvery whispers have breathed in my ca
OF a star-like joy or a rainbow tear.
And when the glory Of Summers DER,
And Autumn's pomp is seen no more,
And diamond led stars look keen and cold,
As Attic steamers their CLEANS unfold
Lake a constant heart, my bosom his bier, I
/ pillow the head of the dying year.
Then light me not; though a simple blade,
My delicate texture God hath made;
And what il, with mystic mission fraught,

Some elm sorcery mine may be,
To bind a passionate heart to thee.
