Explore the fox-glove’s freckled bell. 
MRS. CHARLOTTE SMITH. 
The light down which covers the stalks of this plant, 
luced the poets to make it the emblem of youth. 
Youth, ah stay, prolong delight, 
Close thy pinions stretch’d for flight; 
Youth disdaining silver hairs, 
Autumn’s frowns, and winter’s cares, 
Dwell’st thou but in dimple sleek, 
In vernal smiles, and summer’s cheek? 
On spring’s ambrosial lap thy hands unfold, 
They blossom fresh with hope, and all thy touch is gold. 
LOVIBOND.
