Excerpt from Rose Petals And the life your blooms impart! How you weep whene'er I touch you Heaven's tears from out your heart! And you turn me too, - to weeping, With your faint and fragrant breath, Stirring thoughts within me sleeping, With a silence like to death! Opening wide the guarded portal Where white Memory spreads her wing Gathering up the flowers immortal That around Life's sorrows cling.
