In o lone bleak wood Wild rose grew.
No eye ever saw it, mind ever knew,
But the fpEcr was the less as fair
As any That ever breathed the air.
1t gazed I'm to the calm. cold sky
And shuddcred to think it soon must die.
1t languishcd, and its heart grew chill;
The caress Of zephyr might we'll nigh kin, !;
But passing breeze gave encouragement
And bore atar its delicate scent;
The breeze thus laden kissed child
Who played in the meadow and, pausing, rmilad,
The dear enchantment of that spot
The child. through a lifetime. never forgot.
The soul OF the rose. with its last sweet bseAth,
Leaped forth to meet approaching death. ~
And gave TO the breeze every crimson fake; ;a
