E Moss Rose.- Love .Voluptuousness. 
Jjjj^he angel of the flowers,one day, 
; '-4v beneath a Rose-tree sleeping lay, 
Awaking from his light repose, 
4 the angel whispered to the Rose, 
"4p fondest object of my care, 
f. still fairest found,where all is fair,. 
I 7 or the sweet shade thou giv'st tome, 
s ask what thou wilt/tis granted thee !" 
Then, said the Rose,with deepened glow, 
on me another grace bestow/' 
jfhe spirit paused in silent thought:- 
M'hat grace was there the flower had not ? 
* ’ Twas but a moment-o'er the Rose a 
| veil of moss the angel throws,- 
/And robed in natures simplest weed,could 
there a flower that Rose exceed?
