Broad Grins / Comprising, With New Additional Tales in Verse, Those / Formerly Publish'd Under the Title "My Night-Gown and / Slippers."

by George Colman

The ardent kisses of the Sun,

Off’ring a tribute to her Cheek,

Droops, to perceive its Tint outdone;

Then withering with envy and despair,

Dies on her Lips, and leaves its Fragrance there.

Ringlets, that to her Breast descend,

Increase the beauties they invade;

Thus branches in luxuriance bend,

To grace the lovely Hills they shade;
