Fanciful BouquetA
-
-
Hopes all glowing Wishes rareB
Blessings mixed with many a PrayerB
Flowers as yet beyond compareB
Though flourishing in northern airB
-
Farewells twined with tender FearsC
Golden day dreams gemm'd with tearsD
Affections nurtur'd many yearsC
Before this perfect bloom appearsC
-
Thoughts of fondness and of prideE
Love vanities we need not hideE
Heart blossoms in its crimson dyedE
For you are here together tiedE
-
And yet they all appear too poorF
Though goodness can ensure no moreG
Though monarchs whom the world adoreG
Would purchase such with all their storeG
-
And while this charmed gift we sendH
We know where'er your footsteps bendH
The looks and tones that win the friendH
That kindness nature truth attendH
-
Are yours and must be with you stillI
Angelic guards go where they willI
To ward off much surrounding illI
And happiest destinies fulfilI
