MARY, when the wild-roseBlossomed on the vine,Hearts were light, eyes were bright,But none so bright as thine.
Lightly the month of May,Sweet bud of June,Opened like a rose in gray,Under the moon.
When the heart of summerWithered with rust,Bitter blows laid the roseBroken in the dust.
Crystal wells, amber wells,On the hills of blue,Chiming like silver bellsWhen the heart is true,
Boom with the billowsOn the black shore;Sweetness to bitternessForevermore.
descriptionPage 116
Sweetly the waters ran,(Wild rose for thee);The fountains of the heart of manAre bitter like the sea.
