Walter Scott - To a Lady - with Flowers from a Roman Wall
Work rating: Low

Take these flowers which, purple waving,
On the ruin`d rampart grew,
Where, the sons of freedom braving,
Rome`s imperial standards flew.

Warriors from the breach of danger
Pluck no longer laurels there;
They but yield the passing stranger
Wild-flower wreaths the Beauty`s hair.
