SONG
[Tell the wish of thy heart in flowers sweet maid]
Tell the wish of thy heart in flowers sweet maidWords never speak so plain
As a dogrose cropt from the woods green bowers
Or a cowslip cropt i the rain
To stoop for't & cherish it home i thy breast
While the rain drops fall i the face
And like pearls o' joy on thy happy cheeks rest
From the bushes & green grassy place
