1659 Down a Woodland Way

AS I was strolling down a woodland way,

I met fair Spring, a garland on her arm;

She stood a moment gazing in dismay,

Then turned and fled away in swift alarm.

And as I strove to follow her swift flight

Along the way that I had seen her pass,

No trace of her remained to meet my sight

Save three wild violets among the grass.
