Song [The Wreath You Wove, The Wreath You Wove]

Title:     Song [The Wreath You Wove, The Wreath You Wove]
Author: Thomas Moore [More Titles by Moore]

The wreath you wove, the wreath you wove,
Is fair--but oh, how fair,
If Pity's hand had stolen from Love
One leaf, to mingle there!

If every rose with gold were tied,
Did gems for dewdrops fall,
One faded leaf where Love had sighed
Were sweetly worth them all.

The wreath you wove,--the wreath you wove
Our emblem well may be;
Its bloom is yours, but hopeless Love
Must keep its tears for me.

[The end]
Thomas Moore's poem: Song [the Wreath You Wove, The Wreath You Wove]
