First Line: Where the youthful rivals meet
Last Line: "steadfast e'en in death."
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Flowers; Roses
Where the youthful rivals meet --
Reddest Rose and whitest Snow --
From a trysting-place so sweet
Which will soonest go?
"Hence with life alone I stray,"
Blushed the flower of balmy breath.
"Mine," the snow-wreath sighed, "to stay
Steadfast e'en in death."
