Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGHGIIJI KLMLNGOG IPQPRDSD TUVUWXYX ZA2OA2B2C2D2X| Amid 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 |
