The Garland.
(“Pleasures of Innocence.”)
Summer freely waves her garlands round—
Who would sigh for golden treasures?
Who would seek to purchase pleasures?
Summer freely waves her garlands round.
Who would sigh for golden treasures?
Who would seek to purchase pleasures?
Summer freely waves her garlands round.
Pleasure ever must be won by toil—
'Tis the contrast of employment
Gives to idleness enjoyment—
Pleasure ever must be won by toil.
'Tis the contrast of employment
Gives to idleness enjoyment—
Pleasure ever must be won by toil.
Who has earned a happy holiday?
Has improvement marked thy hours?
Then enjoy the summer flowers—
Thou hast earned a happy holiday.
Has improvement marked thy hours?
Then enjoy the summer flowers—
Thou hast earned a happy holiday.
Summer freely waves her garlands round—
Who will sigh for golden treasures?
Who will seek to purchase pleasures?
Summer freely waves her garland round.
Who will sigh for golden treasures?
Who will seek to purchase pleasures?
Summer freely waves her garland round.
