SPRING-FLOWERS.
And blissful blossoms in the bloomed sward,
Submit their heads in the young sun’s safeguard;
Ivy-leaves rank o’erspread the barkmekyn wall;
The bloomed hawthorn clad his pykis all
Forth of fresh burgeons; the wine-grapis ying,
Endlong the twistis did on trestles hing.
The locked buttons on the gummed trees,
O’erspreadant leaves of nature’s tapestries;
Soft, grassy verdure, after balmy showers,
