flowers ; But tile wandering thoughts were far away In the tlim, green dales where we used to stray. 'Vvhen, white as milk, And soft as silk, And sweet a,s a kiss without warning, My heart was thrilled, My hands were filled, With, roses the other morning. My heart had been far in the good, green glades, Where never a. niossbell at noontide fades; That exquisite bower where the ocean bride Lies veiled by her tresses in zoneless pride: Perhaps she sent For my content, M 5 fealty never scorning, By this small page, Her royal gage, These roses the other morning. With never a hat on the thick-set crown, With never a shoe on the feet so brown, A lisp on the lip, but the eyes gave true Anien as he held out the sprays, "For you." Oh, white as milk, And soft as silk, And sweet as a kiss wilhxmt warning; My heart was tliriled, My hands were filled, With, roses the other morning. — PiOSLYN". Auckland, December, 1904.
