[When dews pearl the blossom]
When dews pearl the blossom
The hue is more charming
When tears hang on beauty
The look is more warming
The hue is more charming
When tears hang on beauty
The look is more warming
The rose bud is sweetest
The less its in blossom
Ere bees have the freedom
To lodge in its bosom
The less its in blossom
Ere bees have the freedom
To lodge in its bosom
The lips winging fragrance
To love is best known
To the swain that first tasteth
When prest to his own
To love is best known
To the swain that first tasteth
When prest to his own
