Burns.

FITZ-GREENE HALLECK.

To a Rose, brought from near Alloway Kirk, in Ayrshire, in the Autumn of 1822.

WILD Rose of Alloway! my thanks :
Thou 'mindst me of that autumn noon
When first we met upon "the banks
And braes o' bonny Doon."

Like thine, beneath the thorn-tree's bough,
My sunny hour was glad and brief;
We've crossed the winter sea, and thou
Art withered-flower and leaf.

And will not thy death-doom be mine-
The doom of all things wrought of clay-
And withered my life's leaf like thine,

Wild Rose of Alloway?
