The Rose.
Written for THE EVENING STAR.
June claims the rose,
But the May-month knows
Who warmed its heart to bushes
Who kissed it oft
With sunbeams soft
In depths Of its green bushes.
Mays silvery rain.
With low refrain,
Its tender petals parted:
Mays zephyrs coy
To wanton Joy
Wooed roses crimson hearted.
Mays madrieal
(The sky-lark's call)
Thrilled virgin rose-buds sleeping:
Pure, white a. snow.
Like vestals. grow
Such roses, vigil keeping.
Mays moonlight glanced
Through leaves entranced
And flushed, like maiden dreaming.
June's fsvorite flower,
In Mays dusk bower.
Oped to loves tender seeming.
June claims the rose;
But the May month knowa
And vows It DER and over
To sun and moon
To stars Of June,
