The Old Miniature

From its furnished oval rim
Set with pearls long since grown dim
Smiles a rose-flushed, dimpled face.
Winsome In its girlish grace.
In her flowered silken gown,
With its soft folds sweeping down,
Sweeter maids were none, l trow,
Than this maid of long ago.
Tell me-in those long-gone days
Did you blush at some ones praise?
Did hope blossom, fair and sweet,
AS Love knelt low at your feet?
Were you happy? Did you wed,
Did Love bide, rose-garlanded?
Did your girlish dreams come true.
Or did roses turn to rue?
Dreams as we'll as roses fade
Keep your secret, little maid.
