Pardon, madame, you scarcely know How much he was to me, My little friend who shared my woe As he had known my glee. The months, I know, may number few. Although with sorrow filled. Since in our garden at St. Cloud I watthed the linnets build. Then I had all and more than all Your children have to-day ; The Commune came, and roof and wall In hideous ruin lay. [ 76] THE WILD WHITE ROSE. The wild rose blooms on the woodland spray, It hangs o'er the wild bird's nest, And I longed as I passed by to...-day To wear it upon my breast. But I had a flower already there, A rose, too, my garden's queen, And to spurn what had claimed my tenderest care Were a graceless act, I ween. So the wilding flower uninjured stands, For I bore it not away, And it waits for the grasp of ruder hands Than those it escaped to-day. Still I gaze on the garden's trim parterre. Where each flower in order blows, And I sigh for a breath of the mountain air. And I long for that wild white rose. 78 THE FRENCH GOVERNESS One day I dared to stand beside That wreck of happier years ; I Hngered on the lawn and tried To check my blinding tears.
