Christina Georgina Rossetti - Song II
Work rating: Low

Oh roses for the flush of youth, 
And laurel for the perfect prime; 
But pluck an ivy branch for me 
Grown old before my time. 


Oh violets for the grave of youth, 
And bay for those dead in their prime; 
Give me the withered leaves I chose 
Before in the old time.
