ON SEEING A LADY WEEP OVER A NOSEGAY.

Reading edition

Though plucked from off the parent stems, The flow’rs forget to die, When Beauty all their leaves begems With tears from her sweet eye. There is a heart which throb’d to-day To see thee weep alone. And longed to wipe those drops away, Or make that grief its own.

Plutarch Shaw: 1844.
