TO A NOSEGAY.
Sweet-scented messenger from landscape green,
Thy presence is a blessing in my cot;
A still memento of each sunny spot,
Or shaded, where my wand'ring feet have been
In search of thee. The winding wet ravine,
Luxuriant with golden flowers; the grot
Beneath the live oak, where small blossoms dot
The mossy rock, and humming birds are seen
To flash and quiver through the tremulous leaves
Of snowy buckeye; and the mountain's steep,
Or wooded summit, where sad zephyr grieves
Forever through the branches of the pine;—
All helped to form thee, and thou still dost keep
Their charms before me, which I blend with thine.
