Heart's Ease (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Heart's Ease

I Plucked a rosebud for my love's adorning,
Fragrant and sweet, and fresh with pearly dew.
Dear bud, so lovely in the early morning,
Surely no flower could be as sweet as you.

I plucked a blossom in the scented twilight,
Full blown, the promise of the bud redeemed.
It, too, was fair; in morningtime or moonlight
Love has no seasons, each was best it seemed.

Love, you are sweet when youth is full of gladness,
When life is beckoning through her open door;
But when in autumn life is tinged with sadness -
Then love, we need you, then we need you more.
