HEART OF A ROSE-HEART OF A MAN by AMELIA WOODWARD TRUESDELL

First Line: A FLURRY OF SNOW ON THE HEART OF A ROSE!
Last Line: TO THE HEART OF A MAN IS A SUN-RAY'S GLEAM.
Subject(s): HEARTS;

A flurry of snow on the heart of a rose!
Ah me! Who knows
The chill that can strike to the heart of a rose?

On the heart of a man, a cruel tone!
Hast ever known
The thrust that can come from a cruel tone?

To the heart of the rose a sun-ray's gleam!
A smile's bright beam
To the heart of a man is a sun-ray's gleam.
