"Hail to the happy hour ...."







Hail to the happy hour! when fancy led

My pensive mind this flow’ry path to tread;

And gave me emulation to presume

With timid art to trace fair Nature’s bloom:

To view with awe the great Creative power

That shines confess’d in the minutest flower;

With wonder to pursue the glorious line,

And gratefully adore the Hand Divine!
Mrs Mary Delany
