Book Description
Excerpt from Achmet's Feast, and Other Poems Hail genial spring! sweet smiling maid Clad in thy robe of green, Deck'd with the wild flower of the glade, Dancing upon the sweet grass blade Hail nature's virgin queen! Thy smiles, are beacons to my heart, Fresh hopelings to my breast, For I have felt the winter's smart, And bow'd beneath afflictions dart, Sorrowing and distrest. But thou, sweet spring, with beaming eye Lighting thy gentle way, Makes my chill blood extatic fly, Whilst thinking that adversity, Will bend before thy ray.
