Health to my friend, and long unbroken years,
By storms unruffled and unstained by tears:
Winged by new joys may each white minute fly;
Spring on her cheek, and sunshine in her eye.

Flowers, the sole luxury which nature knew,
In Eden's pure and guiltless garden grew—
Gay without toil, and lovely without art,
They spring to cheer the sense, and glad the heart.

Sweet daughter of a rough and stormy sire, hoar Winter's blooming child, delightful Spring.

Anna Laetitia Barbauld

Lo! the bright train their radiant wings unfold, With silver fring'd and freckl'd o'er with gold. On the gay bosom of some fragrant flower They idly fluttering live their little hour; Their life all pleasure, and their task all play, All spring their age, and sunshine all their day.
