To Miss Cracroft; Wrapped Round a Nosegay of Violets
WRAPPED ROUND A NOSEGAY OF VIOLETS .
Dear object of my late anDearly prayer!
Source of my joy! and solace of my care!
Whose gentle friendship such a charm can give,
As makes me wish, and tells me how to live.
To thee the Muse with grateful hand would bring
These first fair children of the doubtful Spring.
O may they, fearless of a varying sky,
Bloom on thy breast, and smile beneath thine eye!
In fairer lights their vivid blue display,
And sweeter breathe their little lives away!
