And the garden, no longer tis leafless and chilly, * But warm with the sunshine, and bright with the sheenOf rich flowers, the moss-rose and the bright tiger-lily,Barbaric in pomp as an Ethiop queen. 166 SUMMER. The beautiful flowers, all colours combining,— The larkspur, the pink, and the sweet mignonette, And the blue fleur-de-lis, in the warm sunlight shining,As if grains of gold in its petals were set! Yes, the Summer, the radiant Summers the fairest. For greenwoods and mountains, for meadows and bowers, For waters, and fruits, and for flowers the for bright shining butterflies, lovely as flowers!.
