A SONNET:
Addressed to Miss S---.
I
When Flora decks the mantling bowers,In elegant array,
And scatters all her opening flowers,
A compliment to May!
II
With glowing joy my bosom beats;I gaze delighted round,
And wish to see the various sweets
In one rich nosegay bound.

III
'Tis granted—and their bloom display'd,To bless my wond'ring view;
I see them all—my beauteous maid,
I see them all in—You.
