Through it I trace on every hand

Beauties, would grace a fairy-land,

And think that, like a grateful eye,

It smiles on all beneath the sky.

There, too, my sweet geranium blows,

And mignionette, and crimson rose,

When all without is clad in snows.

I doubt me, if a princess feels

More joy than that which o’er me steals,

When light and morn my slumbers break,
