Hail sweet Boquet! Extract of Flowers,
Culled from Flora’s choicest bowers,
And distilled in crystal vases,
Like pearly tears, wept by the graces,
’Tis thee we sing, thou sweet Boquet,
From morning dawn till close of day ;
In thy sweet breath dost thou combine
The odor of the Jessamine,
With in her flowers, rich and rare,
That scent the fragrant Southern air;
The Tube Rose and the Violet,
The Moss r,ose and the Mignionctte,
The Heliotrope, and other flowers,
Blooming in onr sunny bowers,
In t!;ee uuite their sweetest scents,
To make thy far-famed excellence.
