CXLII.

Your last request no fond false hope deceives;
Your’s shall be, Rose! when all your days are o’er,
“The sighs of Zephyrs ‘mid the nestling leaves;”
— “And many more!
Many shall mourn around you, lovely Rose!
But there must one be absent; there is one
Who griev’d with you in all your little woes..
He will be gone.”
