HEART’S BLOSSOMS.
My heart is like a red rose tiee, Restarted with countless Howers of love, That freshly bud and bioom for thee, Whom I adore all things above. And every day I strip my tree Of every rose that redly blows, To offer all my wealth to thee, Till there is left no single rose. But lo ! fresh blossoms bud and break On that poor tree that I stripped bare, New iioAeis of love for thy dear sake, Bloom on my heart's tree everywhere ! So do I love thee more and more, And every day fresh roses start, In reddest fragrance o'er and o’er Upon the rose-tree of my heart ! Ethel M. De Fonblanqhe.
