When' thy Uom outihices Flora roie, 'Tii then that man ndores to viow thee, 'Tit then he feels sublime repoie. So artful in thy coyish sparkling, Life's dark gloom soon fades away, Man's fiewje rude temper ceasei startling, Lulled with'viiions brighbeit-ray. "When Love firit rings thy heart with fotters Aud twines thy lowly womau'i form j 'Tii then thy natures instinct gathers Softening dews that to lov« conform.
