LOVE AMONG THE ROSES
ACROSTIC
“Seek ye Love, ye fairy-sprites?
Ask where reddest roses grow.
Rosy fancies he invites,
And in roses he delights,
Have ye found him?” “No!”
Ask where reddest roses grow.
Rosy fancies he invites,
And in roses he delights,
Have ye found him?” “No!”
934
“Seek again, and find the boy
In Childhood's heart, so pure and clear.”
Now the fairies leap for joy,
Crying, “Love is here!”
In Childhood's heart, so pure and clear.”
Now the fairies leap for joy,
Crying, “Love is here!”
“Love has found his proper nest;
And we guard him while he dozes
In a dream of peace and rest
Rosier than roses.”
And we guard him while he dozes
In a dream of peace and rest
Rosier than roses.”
Jan. 3, 1878.
