BLUE HYACINTHS.
Blue hyacinths with drooping bell,
What happy secret do ye tell
To all the listening flowers around,
Which star-like deck the verdant ground,
In sheltered lane and wooded dell?
What happy secret do ye tell
To all the listening flowers around,
Which star-like deck the verdant ground,
In sheltered lane and wooded dell?
What merry notes around you swell,
As if the song-birds loved you well,
And made the echoing groves resound—
Blue hyacinths.
As if the song-birds loved you well,
And made the echoing groves resound—
Blue hyacinths.
Your fragrant beauty can dispel
Heart-sorrow for awhile, and quell
The thorny griefs which here abound;
For where your glowing hues are found
On earth there falls a heavenly spell,
Blue hyacinths.
Heart-sorrow for awhile, and quell
The thorny griefs which here abound;
For where your glowing hues are found
On earth there falls a heavenly spell,
Blue hyacinths.
