THE DYING SNOWDROP
Snow drop I mourn thee oer thy early tomb
Thy witherd fragrance so autumly shed
Killd by the pride that gave thy spotless bloom
Upon the Snow low droops thy witherd head
Thy witherd fragrance so autumly shed
Killd by the pride that gave thy spotless bloom
Upon the Snow low droops thy witherd head
So artless beauty oftentimes undone
Unconsious sleeping on Seductions breast
Like the poor Lark the fowlers wiles have won
Falls on the spot when profferd of his rest
Unconsious sleeping on Seductions breast
Like the poor Lark the fowlers wiles have won
Falls on the spot when profferd of his rest
