126 LEXICON OP 
Signification .. Charming Rose. 
Emblem. Musk Rose. 
Sentiment .... Charming. 
How oft some lovely maiden fair, 
Here for a time will bright appear, 
Tlien fade away like a withered rose. 
And gently sink to calm repose. 
But all her goodness still remains, 
Affection true her worth retains ; 
And though she now has gone to rest, 
The friends she loved are by her blest. 
As ever withered roses shed 
A fragrance when their bloom is fled, 
So her past loveliness imparts 
Its fragrance sweet, to mourning hearts.
