Rich, red roses, O flow'rs of long ago!— Gay, scented petals, O dewdrops aglow! Love's best wishes! Is it love to me? — Heart-hunger weakens; The tears follow free. Red, red loses! O night-pearls that bl'.ish In leaves' embracing shadows! My kisses,—will they ciush? Tears, lov'd roses, The gems of Soirow's night Mingling with the dewdrops! — Ah, love seemed once so brigb.6. Love, guaid, cherish! — O vov/h, ye were a> dream, Broken by th <?,wins-cup With bitter lUTiug gleam. Deer, bright roses, Amid the city's din! Unwonted love brings comforfe To hearts that bleed within.! ' - —VAL. September, 1000.
