Tho’ from mild Zephyr’s kiss no more

Ambrosial balms thou shalt inhale,

Her gentle breath, whene’er she sighs,

Shall fan thee with a purer gale.

But thou be grateful for that bliss

For which in vain a thousand burn,

And, as thou stealest sweets from her,

Give back thy choicest in return.


THE SNOW-DROP AND PRIMROSE.
