TO MARIA ON A FAVOURITE RED-BLOSSOMED THORN, by                    
First Line: Though purest tints at opening morn
Last Line: When all thy blossoms die!
Subject(s): Thorns


THOUGH purest tints at opening morn
O'er Heaven's pale azure beam;
With purer lustre, lovely thorn,
Thy rosy flowerets gleam.

Yet vainly strives that fleeting bloom
With Mary's blush to vie:
Her blushes cheer the wintry gloom
When all thy blossoms die!
