Shines like the sun

Under hedges the violets are coming in bloom 
& the Pilewort it shines like the Sun 
The Spring it is bursting from the winters cold Tomb 
& the sun of Lifes smiles has begun 
Tis February end to morrow fair maid 
& the Snowdrops are looking for thee 
The Crocus has got his gold suit ready made 
& hopes thy companion to be 
So out of two sweethearts be sure & chuse one 
While chusing is left to thy choice 
For Valentine day only came to be gone 
& then true love is left without voice
