HEARTSEASE AND RUE
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL BOSTON AND NEW YORK HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN AND COMPANY The Riverside Press, Cambridge 1888 Copyright, 1888, By JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL. All rights reserved. The Riverside Press, Cambridge: Electrotyped and Printed by H. O. Houghton & Co.

Along the wayside where we pass bloom few Gay plants of heartsease, more of saddening rue; So life is mingled; so should poems be That speak a conscious word to you and me.
