"Honeysuckle"

"Honeysuckle"

By Me!

The starlike blossoms sweetly shine

And fragrant bloom upon the vine

That wanders through the groves of pine

And lights the dusky glen.

The phantom sweetness on the air

Perfumes the azure stillness there

And wafts ethereal and fair

To ease the hearts of men.

An angel's breath could hardly loom

As pure and sweet as yonder bloom,

That blesses me with rich perfume

And haunts each hill and fen.
