A friend of ours thus returns thanks for
boquet of moss reses:
The angel of the flowers tits said,
One day reposed her weary head,
Beneath roses fragrant bower,
To pass in sleep the sultry hour.
On waking, to the rose she said,
"How shall your kindness be repaid?"
On me bestOw another grace,
The rose replied with blushing face.
elbow can your beauty rich and rare,
/ Be made another grace to bear?"
She thought, and then the moss she spread
Around the roses radiant head.
The flowers thus graced Sou send to me,
And l, delighted, render thee
The thanks which are so justly due
For flowers sweet and friendship true.
Be fragrant flowers ever shed
Around the path your feet may tread,
And when at last you sleep in death,
Your grave be perfumed with their breath.
