LOVE IN IDLENESS.

LOVE IN IDLENESS.

WHEN comes the beauteous summer time,
And grass grows green once more,
And sparkling brooks the meadows lave
With fertilizing power;

And when the birds rejoicing sing

Their pleasant songs again,

Filling the vales and woodlands gay
With their enlivening strain ;—
Go not at eve nor morn, fair maids,
Unto the mead alone,

To seek the tender violets blue,

And pluck them for your own;
For there a snake lies hid, whose fangs
May leave untouched the heel,
But not the less,-O, not the less,

Your hearts his power shall feel!

DOETL DE TROIES.

THE END.
