18. The Winter Flower
A Birthday Offering

{56}
(For Music.) |
BLOOM, beloved Flower!— |
| Unknown;—'tis no matter. |
| Courts glitter brief hour, |
| Crowds can but flatter. |
Plants in the garden |
| See best the Sun's glory; |
| They miss the green sward in |
| A conservatory. |
—PRIZED WHERE'ER KNOWN.— |
| Sure this is a blessing, |
| Outrings the loud tone |
| Of the dull world's caressing. |
Oxford.
December 30, 1830. |
