THE WALK AT NIGHT.

Tell me what is sweeter
Than a walk at night,
With one we love beside us
And the moon in sight?
Who would have thought the Spring-time
So prodigal could be?
Behold the blossoms burning,
Like lamps on every tree.

What tree is this? An almond?
A peach, it seems to me;
And the fruit there—pluck it darling,
The heart I offer thee.
