GENTLE maid, consent to be
A rural bride, and dwell with me,
Where the woodland warblers sing
Songs of love, to hail the spring-
Where sweet wild flowers scent the gale
Round my cottage of the vale.
The jess’mine dark with snowy gems,
Scatter’d o’er its bending stems;
And the woodbine’s tendrils twine
With the blushing eglantine,
To form a rural bower for thee-
Quit for these thy liberty.
(Isabella Lickbarrow)
