A Rosebud Immortal. We stood in a garden at morning, A garden all golden and green, The leaves in the wind sang together, Her laughter made music between. She was robed in the white of the lilies, Her eyes, like the heavens, were blue, Aud around her in swsetness unfolded The roses, a glitter with dew, 1 prayed for a bud and she gave it With a smile, and a blush, and a sigh; I caught and 1 kissed her white fingers, There trembled a tear In her oye, Then the gardener, ancient and wrinkled Came clipping the box wood and yew, And she went, and a cloud drifted over, And the sparkle died out of the dew, My locks are a-glimmer with sliver, My life is unbrightened by love, For, still in the robes of the lilies, She sings with the angels above, In a book in my bare little attic Laid in with a leaflet or rue, Is a rosebud that never unfolded For lack of the sunlight and dew, That ic all: she is dead like the rosebud, Aud my love for hier never was told, But my dream of the glory of Heaven 1s of her at the gateway of gold, She stands with her feet in the blossoms, Aud waiteth to welcome me through, Aud give me a rosebud Immortal, i th diamonds of dew, Starred over wi RE SRR IR PAID IN TEARS. it would Blanche think I shall don’t you think to have k?. 1 HO ment’s wouid rather she would “Rather she wouldn't come!” ed Mr ‘* Ernest, more peculiar every day. 3 Id rathex n't come,’ 3.
