WHITE ROSE.

White Rose, so near the gate,
Does she pass out and IN?
The summer twilight long ana iate
When whippoorwills begin
Their swift and mellow cries
Below the yelled blue skies,
Does she pass out and in?
White Rose, that scent OF thine
So rare and sweet and DID,,
IT'S some perception half divine
Thy petals pure enfold,
A sense of Heavenly things
Thy line from Eden brings,
So rare and sweet and old
Then does her spirit come,
AS in the Long Ago,
Around the old, sweet-gardened nome
To wander to and fro?
When dew is on the grass
Along that path to pass
AS in the Long Ago?
Dost thou not talk with her,
White Rose, so near the gate,
When her pale angel-garments stir
The twilight deep and late?
oh. while she bends above
Then whisper love-Tny love
White Rose, so near the gate!
