the jum: no si. s.This German-like lyric ilt; from Adelaide Anna Proctor's new volume of poetry:Just when the red June roses blow,She gave me one—a year ago—A rose whose crimson breath revealed The secret that if« heart concealed,And whose half shy, half tender grace Blushed back upon the giver’s face.A year ago—a year ago—To hope was not to know.Just when the red June roses blow,I plucked her one—a month ago;Its half-blown crimson to eclipse,1 laid it on her smiling lips;The balmy fragrance of the South Drew sweetness from her sweeter mouth. Swiftly do golden hours creep—To hold is not to keep.The rc«.l June roses now arc* past,This very day I broke the last ;And now its perfumed breath is hid,^ ith her, beneath a coffin lid ;There will its petals fall apart.And wither ou her icy heart ;At three red rose s cost My world was gained and lost.
