THE WILD ROSE.
Oh a wild rose bloomed in a fair retreat
Where zephyrs gently blew.
tlooding the nook with her incense
Queen of a scented crew.
But coyest of all was this wild rose
With her dainty petals fair.
When the. west wind came with his WOO
A true love to declare.
And day by day through the springtime
He sought in lovers mood
TO lay his heart at the roses feet
Thus in sun and shade did the west wind
flee
To preserve his counting sway,
While the wild rose bloomed to matu-
rity
And loved in her rosy way.
All! she gave herself to the am'rous wind.
As he sped the westland down:
And the bold groom blew the rose away
To the rolling fields of brown.
He kissed her cheeks in a merry race
Throughout the livelong day,
But at dusk he tired of her fragile face
And -carelessly sped away!
Into the clods of serried field
She fell with fragrance spent.
But the west wind never sigh did yield
For the flower innocent
In the chilling field, all torn and rife.
The wild rose dropped and died.
But the angels wrote in the Book of Life
OF floweret sanctifiedi
