White daisies on the meadow green. Present thy beauteous form to me; Peaceful and joyful these are seen, And peace and joy encompass thee. I watch them where they dance and shine, And love them—for their beauty’s thine. Bed roses o’er the woodland brook Remember me thy lovely face : So blushing and so fresh its look, So wild and shy its radiant grace. I kiss them in their coy retreat, And think of lips more soft and sweet. Gold arrows of the merry mBrn Shot swiftly over Eastern seas, Gold tassels of the bending corn That ripple in the August breeze. Thy wildering smile, thy glorious hair, -And all thy power and state declare. White, red, and gold,—the awful crown Of virtue and of beauty too; fb From what a height those eyes look down On him who proudly dares'to sue . Yet, free from self as God from sin Is love that loves nor asks to win. Let me but love thee in the flower, The waring grass, the dancing wave, The fragrant pomp of garden boWer, The violet on the nameless grave. Sweet dreams by night, sweet thoughts by day, Aud time shall tire ere love decay. Let me but love thee in the glow * When morning on the ocean shines, Or in the mighty winds that b:ow, Snow-laden through the mountain pines In all that’s fair, or grand, or dread— And all shall die ere love be dead.
