David Mallet


Her bloom was like the springing flower, That sips the silver dew; The rose was budded in her cheeks, Just opening to the view.	1
Debas’d by gross alloy: As gold in mines lies mix’d with dirt and clay.	2
His face was like an April morn Clad in a wintry cloud.	3
As honor, just.	4
Pale as ascending ghost cast back to day.	5
As truth, sincere.	6
Soft as the sighings of the gale, that wakes the flowery year.	7
