Ah ! Darling,- see how soon, alas ! She; loosed ner. treasures on the grass, theirivfall on every side! Natrire is well named stepmother When such a flower unloved by her Lasts -but from morn till eventide!
Therefore, if" your believe me? Dear, The while your life* may still appear piad m the greenest for its dress, Gather/ 0 gather all your Youth For ! Age who ! showed the : rose no ruth Even so will dim your loveliness. — From Rousard,; by George Wyndham.
