a very young dy
written on the bnk leaf of a book, presented to her by the author
beauteo rosebud, young and gay,
bloog thy early ay,
never ay&039;st thou, lovely flower,
chilly shrk sleety shower!
never boreas&039; hoary path,
never eur&039; pois&039;no breath,
never baleful stelr lights,
tat thee with untily blights!
never, never reptile thief
riot on thy virg leaf!
nor even l too fiercely view
thy bo bshg still with dew!
ay&039;st thou long, sweet crin ,
richly deck thy native ste;
till ev&039;ng, ber, cal,
droppg dews, and breathg bal,
while all around the woodnd rgs,
and ev&039;ry bird thy reie sgs;
thou, aid the dirful und,
shed thy dyg honours round,
and resign to parent earth
the loveliest for she e&039;er gave birth
