THE ROSE-TREE.
A Rose tree in full bearing,
Had sweet flowers fair to see;
One Rose beyond comparing,
For beauty attracted me:
Tho' eager once to win it,
Lovely, blooming, fresh and gay,
I find a canker in it,
And now throw it far away.

How fine this morning early,
The sun shining clear and bright,
So late I lov'd you dearly,
Tho' lost now each fond delight.
The clouds seem big with showers,
Sunny beams no more are seen;
Farewell ye happy hours,
Your falsehood has chang'd the scene.

FINIS.
