SONG OF THE MORNING-GLORIES by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: WE WEDDED EACH A STAR
Last Line: LAMENTING, DIE.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; MORNING GLORIES;
We wedded each a star --
A warrior true,
That plighted faith afar
In drops of dew.

But comes the cruel dawn;
The dew is dry;
And we, our lovers gone,
Lamenting, die.
