LOVE AMONG THE ROSES.

Young Love flew to the Paphian bower,
And gather'd sweets from many a flower
From roses and sweet jessamine,
The lily and the eglantine.
The Graces there were culling posies,
And found young Love among the roses.
Young Love, &c.

O happy day! O joyous hour!
Compose a wreath of every flower,
Let's bind him to us ne'er to sever,
Young Love shall dwell with us for ever
Eternal spring the wreath composes,
 ​Content is Love among the roses.
Young Love, &c.
