Kind nurse of her abundant good

To human wants, from herb or wood,

Tho’ seem the withering winds less rude

Than thoughtless man’s ingratitude;

Not all thy children droop forlorn,

Hurl’d from magnificence to scorn.

You, fox-gloves, through the varying year[[71]]

Fresh, vigorous and countless here,

You, happy fox-gloves, as you fell,

In triumph clos’d each purple bell;
