BEAUTY'S TEAR.
The dew exhal'd from beauty's eye.
'Mid timorous glances shed,
Falls like the moisture of the sky,
Upon the lily's head.
The lily and the rose unite,
On beauty's cheek to share
The drops of radiant delight,
And drink and flourish there.
The eye shoots forth its sunny beams,
To warm the waking flowers:
As nature owes her lovely realms,
To sunshine and to showers.
The flowers, the light, the warmth, be thine,
The glorious bloom of spring--
No tears, but where the sun-beams shine,
And zephyrs sport their wing.
