Love
Sent to a Lady with Flowers
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
Take the last flowers your natal day
May ever from my hand receive!
Sweet as the former ones are they,
And sweet alike be those they leave.
Another, in the year to come,
May offer them to smiling eres;
.That smile would wake me from the tomb,
That smile would win me from the skies.
