Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGHGIIJI KLMLNGOG IPQPRDSD TUVUWXYX ZA2OA2B2C2D2XAmid the flowers of a garden glade | A |
A lovely rose tree smiled | B |
And the sunbeams shone the zephyrs played | A |
Round the gardens favorite child | B |
And the diamond dew drops glistening fell | C |
On each rose s silken vest | D |
Whilst light winged bee and butterfly gay | E |
On the soft leaves loved to rest | D |
- | |
But one morn while a sunbeam bright | F |
Lit up its delicate bloom | G |
And a zephyr lightly hovered round | H |
On wings of sweet perfume | G |
A strong hand came and ruthlessly | I |
Tore up the parent tree | I |
And bore it off with each fair young rose | J |
From butterfly zephyr and bee | I |
- | |
What mattered it that an antique vase | K |
Of S vres costly and old | L |
Was destined henceforth in royal State | M |
Its fair young form to hold | L |
What mattered it that the richest silks | N |
Of the far famed Indian loom | G |
With priceless marbles paintings rare | O |
Adorned its prison room | G |
- | |
It even pined for the garden free | I |
For its pleasant friends of yore | P |
And brooded over the bitter thought | Q |
It would never see them more | P |
And its young head daily lowlier drooped | R |
Upon its sorrowing breast | D |
While it chafed against the kindly hand | S |
That tended and caressed | D |
- | |
But Autumn came with angry storms | T |
With clouded and wintry skies | U |
Rudely it touched the lovely flowers | V |
And withered their brilliant dyes | U |
The sunbeam false hid its glowing glance | W |
Or with chilling coldness shone | X |
The zephyr fled to Southern climes | Y |
And the flowers died alone | X |
- | |
Then the rose tree looked on the gloomy earth | Z |
On each withered tree and flower | A2 |
And it warmly blessed the loving care | O |
Of its new protecting power | A2 |
No more it mourned past Summer joys | B2 |
But brightly blossomed on | C2 |
With beauty brighter than when once | D2 |
The garden s queen it shone | X |
