I'M the little "Hearts' Ease!"I don't care for pouting skies!If the butterfly delayCan I therefore stay away?
If the coward bumblebeeIn his chimney-corner stay,I must resoluter be;Who'll apologize for me?
Dear old-fashioned little flower,Eden is old-fashioned too!Birds are antiquated fellows,Heaven does not change her blue—Nor may you, the little "Hearts' Ease",Ever be induced to do.
