Or like OF flowers that one
Which loves the sun
And gives

Pleasure nor joy to bless

Your face
Over my paper shines
And lights the linea

And sweetens all

wagging his tail slowly, as though he
were thinking how pleasant it would be
to go the rest Of the way. Finally, he
turned back to her again, and with q
