Roses
I'm taking roses home with me tonight;
Red roses, costing half my weekly pay;
Ihey i give my wife, perhaps, an hours
And then she'll cast them carelessly
away.
What fools we mortals be! Long years
plucled, with careless hand, wild roses
And tossed them to a maid used to
To-day found some rose-leaves, faded,
dead.
Hid in a little corner where my wife
Keeps sundry treasures stored; a note
or two;
young mans photo; not, trust, like
life,
A toy a trinket, and baby's shoe.
I'm 50 now, and counted somewhat gruff;
My figures portly and my hair is gray.
Bah! One would think that | was old
enough
To scorn che mad joy of by-gone day.
And yet felt unreasoning delight
To find those withered rose-leaves lying
And-weI. I'm taking roses home to-
And all the time wonder, win she
