OF TRANSIENT BEAUTY by SOPHIE JEWETT

First Line: ROSE-FLOWER AND FLOWER OF GRASS AND FLOWER OF FLAME
Last Line: THE YEARS MAY FASHION AN IMMORTAL NAME.
Subject(s): BEAUTY; TRANSIENCE; UNIVERSITIES & COLLEGES - FACULTY; WELLESLEY COLLEGE; IMPERMANENCE;

ROSE-FLOWER and flower of grass and flower of flame
Drift to the Beauty whence their beauty came;
Fainter are they, more brief, than this June wind,
Yet for the impalpable grace they leave behind
The years may fashion an immortal name.
