Once she was Dainty Dorothy,
Dorothy OF the Mil,
Sweet as a thorny wild-rose.

Now she folds tattered petals
Around n wounded heart.
And, OH her sister Roses
They shrink from her spartl
DO you remember. Dorothy,
Days that have flown away
with rose. and lilac. and hawthorn,
Fled with a parted May?
Do you remember kisses
Snatched by the eldertree7
Vows that were made, and broken.
Dorothy, Dorothy?
Since you were systematically
Many n rose has died;
Many n rosebud broken
Her Jealous sheaths aside.
And who was queen OF Roses
Is changed and pale Of blee:
No man now seeks Maid Marian,
All men seek Dorothy.
Allan-a-Dale is singing
Tonight in Avalon;
And there's no horn could waken
Scarlet OF Little John;
Only the Miller wanders
The silent ways OF Shere,
And would that he were lying
Dead OF your thorns, my dear.

object is a worthy one. If the
