‘Tis Sunrise—Little Maid—Hast Thou

‘Tis Sunrise—Little Maid—Hast Thou

No Station in the Day?

‘Twas not thy wont, to hinder so—

Retrieve thine industry—

‘Tis Noon—My little Maid—

Alas—and art thou sleeping yet?

The Lily—waiting to be Wed—

The Bee—Hast thou forgot?

My little Maid—’Tis Night—Alas

That Night should be to thee

Instead of Morning—Had’st thou broached

Thy little Plan to Die—

Dissuade thee, if I could not, Sweet,

I might have aided—thee—
