A year passed on and again stood
BY tho humble cottage door;
The maiden sat at her busy wheel.
But her heart was blythe no mere;
The big tear stood in her downcast eye,
And with sighs heard her say,
The gathered rose aud the stolen heart
Can charm but for day
Oh! well knew what had dinnlcd her eye,
And made her cheek so pale
The maid had forgotten her early song,
While she listened to loves soft tale.
She had tasted tho sweets of his poisoned cup,
IL had wasted her life away.
And the stolen heart like the gathered rose
Had charmed but for day.
