• Pink — small — and punctual —

    Pink — small — and punctual —

    Aromatic — low —

    Covert — in April —

    Candid — in May —

    Dear to the Moss —

    Known to the Knoll —

    Next to the Robin

    In every human Soul —

    Bold little Beauty

    Bedecked with thee

    Nature forswears

    Antiquity —

  • The Bird her punctual music brings

    The Bird her punctual music brings

    And lays it in its place —

    Its place is in the Human Heart

    And in the Heavenly Grace —

    What respite from her thrilling toil

    Did Beauty ever take —

    But Work might be electric Rest

    To those that Magic make —
