Song: O roses for the flush of youth

Title:     Song: O roses for the flush of youth
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

O roses for the flush of youth,
And laurel for the perfect prime;
But pluck an ivy branch for me
Grown old before my time.

O violets for the grave of youth,
And bay for those dead in their prime;
Give me the withered leaves I chose
Before in the old time.

[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: Song
