Ohl fresh is the rose in the gay dewy morning,
And sweet is the lily at evening close,
But in the fair presence o' lovely young Jessie,
Unseen is the lily, unheeded the rose.
Love sits in her smile, a wizard ensnaring,
Enthroned in her e'en, he delivers his law,
And still to her charms she alone is a stranger,
Her modest demeanor 's the jewel of a'.
