PROPOSAL
The violet loves a sunny bank,
The cowslip loves the lea;
The scarlet creeper loves the elm,
But I love—thee.
The cowslip loves the lea;
The scarlet creeper loves the elm,
But I love—thee.
The sunshine kisses mount and vale,
The stars, they kiss the sea;
The west winds kiss the clover bloom,
But I kiss—thee!
The stars, they kiss the sea;
The west winds kiss the clover bloom,
But I kiss—thee!
The oriole weds his mottled mate;
The lily 's bride o' the bee;
Heaven's marriage-ring is round the earth—
Shall I wed thee?
The lily 's bride o' the bee;
Heaven's marriage-ring is round the earth—
Shall I wed thee?
1859.
