THOU fair expanding mossy-rose,
Long may thy opening foliage twine
With this luxuriant clustered vine;
Which round thee wreathes its tender boughs.

Fair vine, long may thy leaves extend,
While gentle showers refresh thy root;
Long may thy graceful branches bend,
Enriched with purpling luscious fruit.

Sweet rose, long may thy flow'rs receive
The lucid tears of morn and eve;
Long mayst thou in profusion spread,
Thy straying buds of brigthest red.
