[“O earthly rose!]

[_]

This poem has been extracted from a passage of prose text.

“O earthly rose!
Sorrowing o'er
The land of thy love,
Rejoice! Rejoice
Forever more!
No wintry blasts
Can reach thee here,
No bitter storms;

274

'Tis summer, summer,
All the year.
The winter's death for thee is o'er;
Oh, live and bloom forever more!
