Tlie Rose Tree.
A rose tree in full bearing.
Had sweet flowers fair to see
One rose beyond comparing,
For beauty, attracted me ;
Though eager once to win her.
When lovely, blooming, fi^sh, and gay.

And now throw it far awav.
How fine this morning early.
The sun shining fair and bright;
So late I lov'd you dearly,
Though lost now each fond delight

'J^he sun-beams no more are seen;
Farewell! ye fleeting hours.
Your falsehood has chang'd the scene.
