THE ROSE.
For one short season of the year the Rose Blossonis in radiant majesty set high! Then ,tlio brief glory of the Summer goes, ■ And cold winds- toss bare branches to the ,sky. Yet through the tears of mournful Autumn ■ . 'hours, • Through barren Winter, and compassionate Spring, . . ' ' ' Under ■ fast-fading, bare, or quickening • : bov.*ers Our hearts still dream the Rose's blossom- ' ' The burning hands of .lovers do but close On- some bright scattered petals of the whole. Love—not the lover—holds the perfect Roso In the. immortal Summer of the Soul ! —Althea Gyles in the "Saturday Review."
