SONGS AND CHORUS OP THE FLOWERS, 
BT LEIGH HUNT. 
ROSES. 
We are blushing roses, 
Bending with our fulness, 
’Midst our close-capp’d sister buds 
Warming the green coolness. 
Whatsoe’er of beauty 
Yearns and yet reposes, 
Blush, and bosom, and sweet breath, 
Took a shape in roses. 
Hold one of as lightly— 
See from what a slender 
Stalk we bower in heavy blooms, 
And roundness rich and tender:
