[How lovly the thorn in the newly laid hedges]
How lovly the thorn in the newly laid hedges
Shades wi deepening blushes a delicate green
Where linnets preparing for loves tender pledges
Cannot shelter their newly built cot from being seen
Shades wi deepening blushes a delicate green
Where linnets preparing for loves tender pledges
Cannot shelter their newly built cot from being seen
Point sharper your thorns soon unfold your gay branches
& keep out the schoolboy from prolling among
& keep out the schoolboy from prolling among
