The wild flowers song

The wild flowers songAs I wanderd the forest The green leaves among I heard a wild flower[1] Singing a Song
5 I slept[2] in the earthIn the silent night I murmurd my fears And I felt delight
In the morning I went 10 As rosy as mornTo seek for new Joy But I met with scorn
c. 1793
