XXX. TO THE BIRD'S-EYE FLOWER.

HYMN THE SECOND.

Thou look'st on my Verse, dear Flower!
And my brain draws a finer power
From thy blue and tranquil eye:
Not the love on my Lady's lid,
As she broods o'er a joy heart-hid,
Fills my soul with a dreamy sigh
More lusciously!
The daisy, the glow-worm and lark,
In blossom, in light and in song,
And dews from the rainbow's arc,
Be with thee thy sweet life long!
