Amid the flowers of a garden gladeA
A lovely rose tree smiledB
And the sunbeams shone the zephyrs playedA
Round the gardens favorite childB
And the diamond dew drops glistening fellC
On each rose s silken vestD
Whilst light winged bee and butterfly gayE
On the soft leaves loved to restD
-
But one morn while a sunbeam brightF
Lit up its delicate bloomG
And a zephyr lightly hovered roundH
On wings of sweet perfumeG
A strong hand came and ruthlesslyI
Tore up the parent treeI
And bore it off with each fair young roseJ
From butterfly zephyr and beeI
-
What mattered it that an antique vaseK
Of S vres costly and oldL
Was destined henceforth in royal StateM
Its fair young form to holdL
What mattered it that the richest silksN
Of the far famed Indian loomG
With priceless marbles paintings rareO
Adorned its prison roomG
-
It even pined for the garden freeI
For its pleasant friends of yoreP
And brooded over the bitter thoughtQ
It would never see them moreP
And its young head daily lowlier droopedR
Upon its sorrowing breastD
While it chafed against the kindly handS
That tended and caressedD
-
But Autumn came with angry stormsT
With clouded and wintry skiesU
Rudely it touched the lovely flowersV
And withered their brilliant dyesU
The sunbeam false hid its glowing glanceW
Or with chilling coldness shoneX
The zephyr fled to Southern climesY
And the flowers died aloneX
-
Then the rose tree looked on the gloomy earthZ
On each withered tree and flowerA2
And it warmly blessed the loving careO
Of its new protecting powerA2
No more it mourned past Summer joysB2
But brightly blossomed onC2
With beauty brighter than when onceD2
The garden s queen it shoneX
