Living
Two Roses
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
Can ye not love more sisterly,
Ye roses, but must you keep down
The latest-born? you under, try
To push aside your sister's crown?
O shame upon you, envious pair!
Well may you blush; and well may you
Hide your young face. Look! one comes near
Who by her smile shall shame the two.
