JASMINE rLO'vVZR?. 



AxD brides, as deHcate and &ir 



As the white Jasmine flowers they wear. 



Hath Yemen in her blissfal clime ; 

 ^Mio lulled in cool kiosk or bower. 



Before their mirrors count the time. 

 And grow still lorelier every hour. 



XOOHT. 



TO A J A S AI I y E TREE. 

 i:\ THi corRT or hawoeth cattle. 



yir slight and slender Jasimne-tree, 



That bloomest on my border tower. 

 Thou art more dearly loved by me. 



Than all the wealth of fairy bower. 

 I ask not, while I near thee dwell, 



Arabia's spice or Syria's rose ; 

 Thy light festoons more freshly smell, 



Thv virgin white more freshly slows.
