While rose-buds scarcely show'd their hue, But coyly linger'd on the thorn.


The Pelican Island, and other poems (ed. 1827)


While rose-buds scarcely show'd their hue, But coyly linger'd on the thorn.

While rose-buds scarcely show'd their hue, But coyly linger'd on the thorn.

While rose-buds scarcely show'd their hue, But coyly linger'd on the thorn.

While rose-buds scarcely show'd their hue, But coyly linger'd on the thorn.
