' A flowery crown will I compose, 

 I'll weave the Crocus, "weave the Rose; 

 I'll weave Nai'cissns, newly wet, 

 The Hyacinth and Violet; 

 The Myrtle shall supply me green, 

 And Lilies laugh in light between, 

 That the rich tendrils of my darling's hair 

 May burst into their crowning flowers, and light the painted air."
