TO ——, WITH A ROSE.

I ASKED my heart to say Some word whose worth my love's devoir might pay Upon my Lady's natal day.
Then said my heart to me: Learn from the rhyme that now shall came to thee What fits thy Love most lovingly.
This gift that learning shows; For, as a rhyme unto its rhyme-twin goes, I send a rose unto a Rose.
PHILADELPHIA, 1876.
