Fluttering I will drop upon the rose-bud;

Folks will think I'm hanging on a flower,

While a lovely maiden I am kissing!

ST. GEORGE'S DAY.

To St. George's day the maiden prayed;

"Com'st thou again, O dear St. George's day!

Find me not here, by my mother dear,

Or be it wed, or be it dead!—

But rather than dead, I would be wed!"
