LAST BOUQUET
They tell us that we should not mourn the leaf
Withered dead, rustling nor the fancied flower;
That spring will come and mock our useless grief;
That summers breath sfull restoring power;
We know all this and yet sadly bend above
The mournful relics of our and love.
And these the few last blossoms-oh, how DEAR
AS links that bind us to happier past!
They CLEAN while all around them, brown and sere,
Lie the wild ruins of the Autumn blast
Men stand in silent awe mid crumbling towers,
Our eyes grow strangely dim DER PROSTATE flowers.
While the "sad, signing wind" its voice blends
With rustng leaves, and the swift forest brook,
Now gray with shadows its clear music sends
Along the paths where now in vain we look
For one wild blossom, let our pensive strain
Be all forgiven for the hearts deep pain
