TRAGEDIES: 5 by THEOPHILE JULIUS HENRY MARZIALS

First Line: FOR LOVE IS LIKE THE CHINA-ROSE
Last Line: LASTS EVER, LIKE THE POT-POURRI.
Subject(s): LIFE; LOVE;
For love is like the China-rose
That leafs so quickly from the tree; --
And life though all the honey goes,
Lasts ever, like the pot-pourri.
