Show THE ROSE. H She wears a rpsc within her hair, M Whose fragrance fills mc with cspair. M Why should a flower of faint perfume, M Recall old memories of this room, M And one who long ago did wear, M A rose entwined in her fair hair. M I may be as I breathe a prayer M Of blessing on that head so 'fair!, H A saintly form of angelic light, M Beholds mc as I sit tonight. M Dreaming of the faded years H Until mine eyes are filled with tears, H Longing for her at evening's close, H And the perfume of the withered rose. H DOLORES WATTS. , |
