THE RUINED FLOWER.
Its item was broke the desert wind
Pass'd rudely o'er its slender head,
Ii s,lens droep'd-lt silent pin'd,
TiliSll its hues and fragrance Hed:
The chilling frost of evening hour
Shone coldIy on the dying f lower.
Lone witheref8ower perchance the doom
That niPt thee in thy day of youth,
May be inscrib'd upon my tomb.
Too deep for time to blot its truth:
And tears, too late by Sorrow shed,
May freeze and glitter on my bed.
And better this my fate should be,
Than stab confding Virtues breast.
ASetter to live in misery
Better to die, by Love unblest,
Than build the hope of future fame
On Beauty's wreck-on woman's
shame.
