SONG.
I wore your roses yesterday ; About this light robe's folds of white, Wherein their gathered sweetness lay, Still clings their perfume of delight. And all in vain the warm wind sweeps These airy folds like vapour fine, Among them still the odour sleeps, And haunts me with a dream divine. So to my heart yonr memory clings, So sweet, so rich, so delicate ; Eternal Summer time it brings, Defying all the storm 3 of fate ; A power to turn the darkness bright, Till life with matchless beauty glows ; Each moment touched with tender light, And every thought of you a rose ! »«»_-_->---~-----«_-_-_-_-
