"Basket of Early Flowers"
(included in Cliff Valentines, 1808)
Have not thy Cares and fostering Hand
Rear’d the first Visitants of Spring
And taught their Blossoms to expand
While Winter lagg’d on sullen Wing
And thus with thee, Affections Joy[s]
No angry Passions shall deform
Domestic Blessings round thee [r]ise
And laugh at each external Storm.
