Is her breath : but oh ! what with the pleasure can vie. To kiss her chaste lips of the coral's deep red ? And brighter, far brighter, than stars in the sky, Or glow-worms on earth, tliat so brilliantly shine. Are the rays of her merrily laughing blue eye, That beam 'neath her eyebrows with lustre divine. Should death for his prey ever seize her, I'll die, And leave this sad world — may the thought be forgiven- While those orbs shining clearly shall light me on high The dark narrow roadway that... leads unto heaven. RURAL RHYMES. 39 i^la£=i^loi'tttttii; €aU*' Come maidens, fair maidens, now breaks tlie faint dawn, Let's baste to the greenwood across the soft lawn ; The lark, blythely singing, awakes with the day, And loudly proclaims, 'tis the sweet first of May. Up, up, and in chorus we'll joyfully sing . V welcoming lay to this fair month of spring; For rich are the meadows, and green are the how'rs. And sparkling and sweet are the dew-dripping flow'rs. O ! slumber no longer — away let us flee, 'Tis a season of friendship, of love and of glee ; All nature is fresh, and the birds with delight Are singing aloud to the morning's gray light; Come, come then, arise, we will dance through the grove And revel in pleasures of mirth and of love : Then maidens, up, maidens, haste, haste and away, O would that all life were a sweet first of May !
