Wreaths She Would Playfully Snatch

All Resolutions

A couple walks hand in hand, he smooth-taking her as she picks roses from a bush

He saw, in the wreaths she would playfully snatch
From the hedges, a glory his crown could not match,
And preferr’d in his heart the least ringlet that curl’d
Down her exquisite neck to the throne of the world.
