POEMS.
MAY-FLOWERS.
F you catch a breath of sweetness,
And follow the odorous hint
Through woods where the dead leaves rustle
And the golden mosses glint,
And follow the odorous hint
Through woods where the dead leaves rustle
And the golden mosses glint,
Along the spicy sea-coast,
Over the desolate down,
You will find the dainty May-flowers
When you come to Plymouth town.
Over the desolate down,
You will find the dainty May-flowers
When you come to Plymouth town.
Where the shy Spring tends her darlings,
And hides them away from sight,
Pull off the covering leaf-sprays
And gather them, pink and white,
And hides them away from sight,
Pull off the covering leaf-sprays
And gather them, pink and white,
