from The Woman's Journal
I win the summer back again
At touch OF this dead rose
Oh. lavish JOY. Oh. tender pain.
The very June wind blows,
And thrills me with the old refrain
Whose music my heart knows:
7 win the summer back again
At touch Of this dead rose.
All lost Is all the summers gain.
And lost my hearts repose;
And WIS II tears or was II rain
That wept the seasons close?
The winter suns they coldly wane.
While fall the winter SHOWS;
Rut Love and Summer come again
Al touch Of this dead rose.
