The "Bonnie Breast Knots" too;
'Twas like the words of peace and love,
That follow war's wild crew.
And when I saw thee lightly whirl
Through that ecstatic dance,
My happy spirit flew with thee,
As in a joyous trance.
Sweet maiden, when thou pass'd'st away,
I felt a soft regret;
And oh! thy genius and thy charms,
