Demaris, to what can we compare 
Thy form and face and gentle air? 
To the simple, sweet, wild rose. 
The most fragrant flower that blows 1 
To the nightingale that sings, 
Sweetest of the birds* of sp ring ? 
To the little busy bee, 
Emblem of neat industry? 
Gathering her golden store 
To feast upon when summer’s o’er; 
To a small but precious stone, 
Whose real worth is all unknown ? 
To the pearl which lies asleep 
Beneath the waves of ocean deep ? 
Like unto a gem thou art,— 
Happy he, who wins thy heart!
