Glows on the sunny bank and woods warm side : 
And where thy fairy flowers in groups are found 
The school-boy roams enchantedly along ; 
Plucking the fairest with a rude delight, 
While the meek shepherd stops his simple song 
To gaze a moment on the pleasing sight ; 
O’erjoy’d to see the flowers that truly bring 
The welcome news of sweet returning spring.”
