For soon, alas u the spoilers hand
Its bloom relentlessiy destroyed;
II fell before his stern command,
And left dreary void
Anon the self-same stem did bear
blossom opening as before,
As sweet the first, and fair
As Eden's garden bore
But soon This too, though longer left,
Was doomed 10 share its sisters fate
Tbs tree twice best and twice beren,
Was bare and desolate.
These buds, thus prcmaturely torn
From off the parent tree or vine,
Dear Sister weeping, and forornI
Are emblomatical of thine.
Yet happier these; for now above,
They breathe pure, heavenly air.
There raise their songs of praise and love,
And shine supremacy fair.
