The long lost Rosa Restrevore;
What present shall l weeping bring,
To sleeping Rosa Restrevore
There was a time when sorrows chain,
Meier entered in my humble strain,
But then there was to cheer each line,
The living Rosa Restrevore.
Alas no more she brings me flowers,
All dripping wet with April showers;
Plucked in the fairest sunny bowers,
To cheer ny dull and saddened hours
The sleeping Rosa Restrevore.
How sweet the hours in youth we roved
The fiowery hills and valleys Ger;
As children played-as angels loved.
and my Rosa Res,revore.
When but child-a tender vine
| called the little Rosa mine
The smiling Rosa Restrevore.
Though young in years our love was true,
And spotless as the morning dew;
Whate'er she loved. | loved 1t too,
And all for Rosa Restrevore.
To please her was my sole delights;
Of this thought and nothing more,
My thoughts by day, and dreams by night,
Were all of Rosa Restrevore.
Call it whim like childish fears,
That pass away in after years,
When all the powers are better manned
Ire felt the spell in riper age,
But never has my love run Ger,
As when | loved my Restrovore,
When youth and love went hand in hand.

The yonng girl Rosa Restrevore-
And left ME on Efe's angry tide,
weeping wanderer evermore.
The freezing blasts swept through the bower
And chilled and killed my cherished flower,
The blushing Rosa Restrevore.
The dove, too innocent for strife;
The bud, just bursting into life;
The little heart. with love rife,
SO pure, so chaste, was swept away.
And .. my soul, how many years
Press on the grave OF Restrevore-
How long within the vale offears
I've strolled without my Restrevore.
Could approach the sainted land.
Like Orpheus, l, with harp i'll hand,
Would wander to the fiowery plain
I'd call the long lost Restrevore
Back from the distant, distant shore
The chaste, angelic Restrevore
Should cheer my lonely hours again.
