Tied up with ribbon white,
And in between the silver stems
He hid note from sight.

Il send my heart TO you, IN
And if you care to keep it, love,
Then wear the violets blue"
Before the gilded chcval-glass
She donned her satin gown;
From shoulder white and slender waist
Its richness fippled down,
In folds of flame along the floor
She trailed its crimson hue =.
II cannot wear his flowers tonight,
Alas that they are blue
Behind the little wi;hered stems
With silken ribbon tied,
Too well the velvet blossoms kept
Their secret till they died.
Two colurs more the srinster Fate
Into her shuttle threw, &c.,.
The crimson of satin gown,
The yiolet's tender blue.
