% love thee, simple flower,

I used to love thee, simple flower,
To love thee dearly when a boy:
For thou did'st seem, in chlidhood's hour,
The smiling type of childhcod's JOY.
But now thou only mock'st my grief,
By waking thou ghts OF pleasure fed;
Give ms-giye nae the withered leaf,
That falls on Autumn's boscm--dsad.
For that e'er tells of what has been,
But warns me what soon shall be;
1t looks not back to pleasures scene,
But points unto fusurity.

For thou art CAV aud ! am lone
Thy beauty died with chlldhood's hour
