Diary Extract 10 April 2, 1760

Wednesday, April 2 I this day composed the following verses, to be subjoined to the former.

The blossoms that adorn each bough
Shall teach my song a nobler lay;
Thus may my warm devotion grow,
And yield more grateful smell than they.

The flowers that deck the humble vale,
Expanded wide by Phœbus shine;
Their fragrance shall my sense regale,
And teach me lessons all Divine.
