To Mrs. Spencer, On Her Birthday
ON HER BIRTHDAY, WITH SOME GREEN-HOUSE FLOWERS .
Few, but all thornless, are these flowers,
The green-house saved from wintry showers;
So memory still in grief retains
Few joys, but all unmix'd with pains!
May green-house sweets remind thee more
Of Springs to come than Summers o'er,
Past bliss each present care beguile,
And Hope be born from Memory's smile.

Past bliss each present care beguile,
And Hope be born from Memory's smile.
