The Voice of a Rose.
• j lam yearning -I know not fo? what—for the pOMer Of a'klisst ivl g talisman's glow ! I would agk the white rose that low droops in the bower And whispers so low. Ha! a sweet shudder creeps through the Btill trembling blosßom Ab it lifts pure features to kiss The enpurpled rose bride that so throbs on its bosom In dark reveries. And it fondles the moon's scentless kiss away, seeking The lich purples the zephyrs disport; Hush! a fragrant voice chords with the calm—- " You are seekiDg A mutual heart. "Yes, a heart with the roses* love tenderly woosome, ■• All alame with her pure, ardent soul; Yes, a heart like charm to embellish your bosom, . ' Yet clasp it round whole." —•lnter-Ocean.'
