Grandmother dear, I never knew,
She used to paint, oft-times she drew
In pencil grey an English street,
Quaint cobbled ways where casements meet,
A quiet lane, or crumbling wall,
Thatch-covered roofs, a belfry tall.

With tender care she sketched one day
A rose full-blown, exotic, gay;
She colored it and never thought
The joy she felt, or beauty wrought
Might travel far beyond the sea,
And ages hence be loved by me!
