ON SOME ROSES SENT ANONYMOUSLY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "WHO SENT YOU TO ME, ROSES RARE?"
Last Line: "A TRAITOR IN THE CAMP, YOU SEE. / WHO TOLD?- MY HEART"
Subject(s): COURTSHIP;
WHO sent you to me, roses rare?
And why, pray, blush?
Say, is she not a maiden fair?
I will not hush.

You thought to keep her name from me, --
Nay, do not start;
A traitor in the camp, you see.
Who told? -- My heart.
