LOVE AMONG THE ROSES.

Young Love flew to the Paphian bower,And gather'd sweets from many a flowerFrom roses and sweet jessamine, The lily and the eglantine. The Graces there were culling posies,And found young Love among the roses.Young Love, &c.
O happy day! O joyous hour!Compose a wreath of every flower,Let's bind him to us ne'er to sever,Young Love shall dwell with us for everEternal spring the wreath composes, ​Content is Love among the roses.Young Love, &c.
