The Garland

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

The pride of ev'ry grove I chose,
4

The violet sweet and lily fair,
The dappled pink and blushing rose,
To deck my charming Chloe's hair!
5

At morn the nymph vouchsaf'd to place
Upon her brow the various wreath,
The flow'rs less blooming than her face,
Their scent less fragrant than her hair!
