LOVE’S DECLARATION. 
Do not I love thee, young Rose-bud ? 
Young and beautiful , I love thee, 
And admire thee, Rose Multiflora, 
For thou hast beauty with dignity. 
O Music Cluster Rose, and Bay Rose, 
Of your charming beauty beware, 
Rose Mundi, love is uncertain, 
Dragon Riant, often bringeth a snare. 
Burgundy Rose, unconscious beauty. 
Which in thy face I always see, 
May yet attract some other love ; 
Yellow Rose, excuse my jealousy. 
Dog Rose, ah! my pleasure is mix’d with pain ; 
My heart from thee can ne’er remove; 
Thornless Rose, I live for thee alone, 
Moss-Rose-Bud, confess your Love. Gu. 
f— 
BRIDAL ROSE...HAPPY LOVE. 
Happy the two whose hearts are one,— 
Bound together by purest love ; 
They will have peace, and rest, and joy, 
Akin to those in heaven above : 
Such bliss shall grow, and never fail, 
Whatever trials may assail. Gu.
