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!
