Love among the Roses.
Young Love flew to the Paphian bow'r, And gather’d sweets from many a flow'r, From Roses and sweet Jessamine, The Lily and the Eglantine: The Graces there were culling posies, And Found young Love among the Roses. Young Love among the Roses, Love among the Eoses.
Oh happy day! Oh joyour hour! Compose a wreath of every flow'r; Let’s bind him to us ne’er to sever, Young Love shall dwell with us for ever; Eternal Spring the wreath composes, Content is Love among the Roses. Young Love, &c.
