BIRTHDAY VERSES
Good-morrow to the golden Morning!
Good-morrow to the world's delight!
I've come to bless thy life's beginning,
That hath made my own so bright!
Good-morrow to the world's delight!
I've come to bless thy life's beginning,
That hath made my own so bright!
I have brought no roses, Dearest!
Summer lies upon her bier;
It was when all sweets were over
Thou wert born to bless the year.
Summer lies upon her bier;
It was when all sweets were over
Thou wert born to bless the year.
But I bring thee jewels, Fairest!
In thy bonny locks to shine;
And, if love seem in their glances,
They have learn'd that look of mine!
In thy bonny locks to shine;
And, if love seem in their glances,
They have learn'd that look of mine!
