A Beautiful Flower, That Bedeck'D A Mean Pasture, In Virgin Perfection I Found; Its Fair Bloom Stood Naked To Every Disaster, And Deep The Storm Gather'D Around: The Rose In The Midst Of Its Brambles Is Blooming, Whose Weapons Intruders Alarm, But Sweetest Of Blossoms, Fond, Fair, And Weak Woman Has Nothing To Guard Her From Harm. Each Stranger Seem'D Struck With A Blossom So Lovely, In Such A Lone Valley That Grew; The Clown'S Admiration Was Cast On It Roughly While Blushing It Shrank From His View: O Sweet Was The Eve When I Found The Fair Blossom, Sure Never Seem'D Blossom So Fair, I Instant Transplanted Its Charms To My Bosom, And Deep Has The Root Gather'D There.
