NetempsycnOsis of the Rosn.
Besides the dying rose there grew
A daisy white that gently watched
As one by one its petals fell,
And touched the tired flower with dew.
All light the daisy tanned the rose,
But when the sun, with calid breath,
Did kiss the color from its bloom
The rose grew faint In fragrant death.
Then while watched the last leaf lorn
To snowy whIteness cnange and fall,
l saw the rose-soul gently pass
Into daisy bud new born;
And 10! the breaking light of day
The new born hower in pink revealed
The self ssme hue the rose had worn
Before ats doom the sunkiss sealed.
