THE LOVE-KNOT.
I
You do not now rememberThis ribbon, once so gay;
And yet it was your own gift,
Upon our wedding-day.
You had no gems to offer,
I never sigh'd for them;
I prized this little love-knot,
Beyond the brightest gem.
II
I thought you would not know it,Alas, 'tis faded now!
No longer fit to flutter
Upon a bridal-brow.
Yet once a-year I'll wear it,
If triflers scorn its hue:
I'll tell them I'm as happy
As when this knot was new.
