FLOWERS IN LONDON.
Be blessings, flowers! upon your precious breath,
More precious from your own sweet haunts afar:
The fair, pure treasures of the flow'ry wreath,
In the close, crowded city. priceless are.
More precious from your own sweet haunts afar:
The fair, pure treasures of the flow'ry wreath,
In the close, crowded city. priceless are.
Ye bring blue heavens with ye—bring vernal airs;
Our souls in your delicious presence melt:
With ye still near, we own, midst all our cares—
Thus—the unseen World of Nature—not unfelt!
