And I shall wake to deathless years:

But oh ye flowers, so sweetly blowing,

How can I leave you but with tears!

XIX.

I learn’d to love ye on the knee

Of a fair nurse, in infancy,

Who taught me, with a lip as sweet

As rose-buds, your perfume to greet,

And clap my little hands with joy,

When she gave lilies to her boy.
