The broken flower Comes the cheated maid Though the tempest lower, Rain and cloud will fade ! Tak...e, O maid, these posies : Though thy beauty rare Shame the blushing roses, They are passing fair ! Wear the flowers till they fade ; Happy be thy life, O maid ! O'er the season vernal, Time may cast a shade ; Sunshine, if eternal, Makes the roses fade : Time may do his duty ; Let the thief alone Winter hath a beauty That is all his own. Fairest days are sun and shade : Happy be thy life, O maid ! 106 A NIGHTMARE. WHEN you're lying awake wiili a dismal headache, and repose is taboo'd by anxiety.
