THE NOSEGAY.
Here the rose and lily, twining,
Her enchanting face bespeak;
For the sweetest hues, combining,
Decorate her lovely cheek.
Her enchanting face bespeak;
For the sweetest hues, combining,
Decorate her lovely cheek.
In this blushing pink that deck'd her,
Glows an emblem of her lip,
Both distilling purest nectar,
Both inviting mine to sip.
Glows an emblem of her lip,
Both distilling purest nectar,
Both inviting mine to sip.
In this violet I discover
Her sweet eye's cerulean hue,
Like the star of love, above her,
Sparkling in etherial blue.
Her sweet eye's cerulean hue,
Like the star of love, above her,
Sparkling in etherial blue.
