AMONG THE BUDS.
(Duxbdin Satubdat ADTwnwnt); Oh! leave the buds alone, B»by, Leave tbe bods alone, ■ Each little flow'ret has ft heart As pare as is thine own ; That violet, My pretty pet. Hath borrowed from the slriee, Its deepest bine, — * The same bright hue That sparkles in thine eyes; And, just like the©. In purity And beauty it hath grown; Then leave the buds alone, Baby, Leave the buds alone, ; Oh! leave the buds alone. ' Baby, Leave the buds alone, Those little blossoms are the gems That stud the garden's zone; ' " From bell and cup The sun-sprites sup The nectar and the dew; Each iriorn they drink, From roao and pink; Sweet Matures freshest " brew" Of God's own biond; — Thy tiny hand To playfulness is prone. But do not break the cups, Baby, Leave tho boils alone. : .
Oh! leave the buds alone, - Baby, Leave the buds alono; They aro thy younger Bisters, and ' Like thee, they have but known . The sweets of Spring, « When everything Evolvos God*s purest breath; They have no fear For. Autumn's sere, Nor Winter's tint of death; Affinity Links them and thee, To neavVs eternal throne. To are the stainless ones, , Baby, Leave the bads alone. ' ; THOX.4S BftACKKt.
