This beauteous gem, with fond desire
I saw, and wish'd it mine;
No garden flow'r we most admire
Did half so lovely shine.
Nor beau nor belle could eer compare,
In richest silk array,
Wi*h my sweet Primrose fresh and fair,
Robed by the hand of May.
With happy hand I pluck'd the flow'r,
Its tender stem I tore;
It felt my hand in hapless hour,
It droopd it bloom'd no more.
How sweet its fragrance that perfumd
The balmy summer gale!
In health and purity- how bloom d
The Primrose of the vale!
