то : WELCOME, dear Heart, and a most kind good-morrow; Here are red roses, gather'd at thy cheeks, Dost love sweet Hyacinth? Its scented leaf I pluck'd the Primrose at night's dewy noon; These golden Buttercups are April's seal,— Here's Daisies for the morn, Primrose for gloom, THE FORSAKEN. THE dead are in their silent graves, And the dew is cold above, And the living weep and sigh, Over dust that once was love. Once I only wept the dead, But now the living cause my pain: How couldst thou steal me from my tears, To leave me to my tears again? My Mother rests beneath the sod,— I wish'd that she could see our loves, But now I gladden in her sleep. |
