Blossoms
Language: English
When spring puts on her wedding gown, And ev’ry little sreamlet brown Runs singing to the sea, Then shyly ope these dewy eyes With blue reflections from the skies; Heav’n’s sweet “Remember me.” So now my heart’s a garden fair With Love’s first blossom growing there, Enchanting flower to see. Close, softly close, white petall’d eyes Within whose shade Love’s perfume lies, That gives new life to me.
