Love
Your Last Request No Fond False Hope Deceives
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
Your last request no fond false hope deceives;
Your's shall be, Rose! when all your days are o'er,
" The sighs of Zephyrs 'mid the nestling leaves; "
"And many more!
Many shall mourn around you, lovely Rose!
But there must one he absent; there is one
Who griev'd with you in all your little woes . .
He will he gone."
