I WILL NOT TROUBLE YOU.
A ROSELEAF.
You say your heart is now so full
Of trouble and of wo,
It wants but Love's first trembling tear
To make it overflow.
Of trouble and of wo,
120
To make it overflow.
Sweet girl! believe me, Love would bring
Only a roseleaf there,
Whose floating bloom would bless the tide,
And calm the waves of care!
Only a roseleaf there,
Whose floating bloom would bless the tide,
And calm the waves of care!
