A Rose Of Yesterday.

It lies between the yellow pages, where
She placed it long ago,
When, with the sunlight shining in her
hair
And eyes and cheeks aglow,
She read the book, and then for q brief
space,
The while she went away.
Her fingers laid therein to mark the place.
This rose Of yesterday.
And she, too, faded in her bloom,
Like this poor scentless flower;
Her life bereft Of it's sweet perfume
In one dark bitter hour.
And whom this frail, sere blossom here
Since last she went away,
Ito withered loveliness brings back to me
My rose Of yesterday.
