HOW sweet to wander o’er th’ enamell’d green,
When spring returning, with a liberal hand,
Sheds her rich bounty on the smiling scene.
While the soft zephyrs breathe at her command,
Her balmy airs revive the languid frame;
Her vivid tints enrich the teeming earth;
The swelling buds with one accord proclaim
The rich productions of their gradual birth:
Waked into life the whole creation smiles,
And promis’d fruits reward our daily toils;
Maturing hope each anxious hour beguiles,
Till the rich harvest gives its liberal spoils:
Man looks delighted on fair plenty’s form,
Nor fears the blight nor dreads the coming storm.
(Elizabeth Bath)
