Wood back by Aprips kindly showers,
Beamed gladly forth from Flora's bow'rs
Where is the doodle bug, we say,
That burst
All into life and toiled away
Thro' dust and sun Of summer day!
Where is the gauzy white peksy,
Which, when the spring serene and warm
Succeeded wintry wind and storm,
Bedecked the average female form
O where that Huted, biased Thing,
We pray,
That, with the advent Of each spring,
The beaus admire and poets sing!
Gone like fevered summer dream
Gone like the soon forgotten lay
Gone like the friends Of yesterday
The doodle bug and white pekayl
But when the yernal breeze and rain
And beam
Refresh the hillside and the plain,
The two will come-will come again.
