Demure and modest here the violet grows,

In yonder garden blooms the blushing rose:

To these the lilac adds her fragrant dower

Of perfume cherished by the sun and shower:

Reviving Flora walks the world, a queen

Of kingdoms peerless as a fairy scene.

Far o’er the hills, in many a graceful line,

The rainbow blossoms of the orchard shine.

How softly mingled all their tints unite,

Embalm the air, and bless the grateful sight!
