II. EUGENE WILSON.
For THE BEE.
A rose of youth, your blossoms fair
Have sought the cherries past
For winter once again has come,
And brought some snow at last.
Your bush still has a sickly glare
To one when passing by;
For you the ground SO bleak and bare
Is rose in deaths cold eye.
Good Lii has fed to sunburnt South,
Where Rob has also gone,
Where ice and swow of winter bold
Is seldom seen to dawn.
Dearest winter, blessed winter,
Cheer me on life's highway,
Should fall or should | falter
Take my heart; lay it way.
o winter, most blessed winter,
Fare thee we'll may say;
For when you go; then death may
come
And bear me far away.
