UNDER THE ROSE by CATHERINE Y. GLEN

First Line: LAST NIGHT THE BLUSH ROSE CLUSTERED
Last Line: UNDER THE ROSE!
Subject(s): FLOWERS; ROSES;
LAST night the blush rose clustered, --
To-day the rough wind blows
In showers her broken petals;
Last night, -- yet no one knows, --
I kissed thee, sweetheart, sweetheart,
Under the rose!

Last night my fond hope blossomed, --
To-day December snows
Drift deep and cold above it;
To-day, -- ah! no one knows, --
My heart breaks, sweetheart, sweetheart,
Under the rose!
