Love! thou art leading me from wintry cold,Lady! thou leadest me to summer clime,And I must taste the blossoms that unfoldIn its ripe warmth this gracious morning time."So said, his erewhile timid lips grew bold,And poesied with hers in dewy rhyme: 70Great bliss was with them, and great happinessGrew, like a lusty flower in June's caress.
