As Spring, attended by the laughing Hours, After long storm is wont to reappear, When the mild Zephyr, breathing through the bowers, Brings back its former beauty to the year, And goes enamelling the banks with flowers, Blue, white, and red, all eyes and hearts to cheer; So when returning Flerida is seen, My heart too gladdens, and my hope grows green.
