LOVE AMONG THE ROSES.
Young Love flew to the Paphian bower,
And gather’d sweets from many a flower,
From roses and sweet jessamine,
The lily and the eglantine.
Young Love, &c.
The Graces there were culling posies,
The Graces, &c.
And found young Love among the roses.
O happy days! O joyous hour!
Compose a wreath of ev'ry 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.
FINIS.
