PERSIAN ROSES.

In an ancient legend, Persians say
That a rose-tree blooms at the gates of Day,
And once in each life, be it sad and gay,
Comes the scent of that flower from the far-off
skies,
And the heart seems lifted to Paradise.
And, oh, the day that it came TO me! :
Tears can not tarnish the memory, love,
OF that moment out on the summer sea
When the fragrance fell from above
Your eyes were raised, and their tender tale
Had made.me forget the freshening gale,
Till the waves were dashng over the rail,
And the clinging arms of ragged cloud
Had wrapped the sun in an inky shroud.
With the timbers straining under our feet,
And our faces pale in the lightning's glare,
We learned for the first time life was sweet,
For we learned for the first time love was there
Blest was the fragrance that came on the blast,
Bright was the moment but swiftly past
All, far too blest, too bright to last!
For the mighty, passionless, pitiless sea
Claimed what was dearer than life to me.
All. merciless memory, draw the veil
Across the path of that leaping wave!
Shut from my eyes the loosened sail,
And lift my heart from that ocean grave!
