THE SONG OF THE ROSE. She cut me loose from my swayine
 stem In the sweep of the silvery dew; She took me away from my saroen
 home
 Ana the oldtime friends I knew. Away from the mold Of my crimson
 clan
 To a hallway dark and cool. When she buried my thirsty, dropping In the depths of a crystal pool. She brought me forth in the twilight's
 shade
 with smile as her red lips Against my own. and her sSes were As she placed my head on her And together we wandered forth again when the moon danced through the Ana the breath of my clan came back On the sweep of the twilight
 breeze.
 Our pathway led to the garden gate When out to the moonlight clear Another came up the winding road With an oid-time song of cheer; And side by side on the rustic pencn They sat when the moon shone dim, And when he left for the road again He took me away with him. |. FJe onenea the dusty book one night When I had lain through the years; And his eyes half-closed Tn the lone-
 some room.
 Looked down through mist of tears;
 And he kept me then till the grey
 
 The shadows away with its gleams; sAshes of roses" I heard him say. sAshes of roses and dreams"
 --Grantland Rice.
