Ah! but thy blushes seem to say, 
“ Thorns are on this rose of May!” 
O fear thee not! The care be mine, 
To keep thorns from that heart of thine. 
Thou say’st again,—“ This rose will fade, 
And my sad heart may be betrayed!” 
O no! Though all its petals fall, 
Mutations come, I’ll love through all.

I’m thinking of thee all day, 
And when I’m awake at night; V 
Sweeter than roses so sweet, vk

PRIMROSE. 
Early Primrose is the symbol of Youth ; 
life’s propitious season—the morning of 
life’s day—the seed-time of after life. O 
ye young, be careful tv hat and how you 
sow in the season of youth; for if you sow 
the seeds of evil, the noon and evening of 
your life’s day may be dark, cloudy, and 
miserable!
