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.
