ROSE AND LEAF
ALL the roses now are gone,All their glories shed:Here's a rose that grows not wan,Rose of love to wear uponYour fair breast instead.
Everywhere sere leaves are seenGolden, red and grey:Here's a leaf for ever green,Leaf of truth to hold betweenYour white hands alway.
descriptionPage 142
Here's my leaf and here's my rose.Take them. They are yours.In my garden nothing grows,Garden of my heart, God knows,That as long endures.
