The Y:IcSs. I paw, one rariient S nnmer morn, Where flowerets were springing, A few sweet Violets adorn The groves, and birds were singing! How fair a jpearM their purple iiue, When dawn that hue discloses: I love the fields, so ting'd witli blue, The Cowslips and Wild Itoss3. These Violets raised their humble heads, Beside a moss grown fwer; Nature fer them, her carpet sprca.is, And Love adorned the bower! De-r is the spot where Laura dwells, H '-wthorns around are blowing. I . -ag have mused hevatii t!: dells, By rivulets there Jlowiag. Like ye, por flowers, the village maid, It rural beauty sporting; Her zone in innocence array'd, She looks more kind when eourting: IJ'jI ""on her roseate cheeks grow pale, Ami every joy is banishM, Thf maidens hee must ever fail.
