From wind-rocked blue-bells flashed his eye;

He floated round the butterfly;

His little golden head rose up

In the water-lily’s cup;

His saucy breath, with nectar fed,

Puffed at me from the violet’s bed.

Half in sport and half caress;

Oh, dear artless Happiness!

Womanhood one day me found,

And my brows with roses crowned.
