BEAUTY AND lime
The Rose in the garden slipped her bud
And she laughed in the pride of her youth
full blood;
As she thought of the gardener standing by
He is old, so old, and he soon will die!''
The young Rose waxed in the warm June air
And she spread and spread till her heart
lay bare;
And she laughed once more as she heard
his tread,
HE is older now, he will soon be dead!'
But the breeze of the morning blew and
found
That the leaves of the blown Rose strewed
the ground;
And he came at noon, that gardener old,
And softly raked them under the wold
And wove the thing to a random rhyme
For the Rose was BEAUTY and the Gar
dener TIME.
