Henry O'Meara Ballads of America

THE TEA-ROSE TRIAD

ON A GIFT OF PRIZE ROSES FROM C. W. GALLOUPE, ESQ.

THREE roses rise envir'ning one gemmed view,
Dipped each in varying, yet enhancing, hue -
Steeped ever in a gleam of trinal Fancy's dew.

The Gontier's glow to rosy youth inclines,
The Bride, a maid's clear truth and trust entwines -
The Mermet, with their loves in tint maternal shines.

A Child on ruby life of bloom is bending;
A Maiden, charms to pallid petals lending -
A Matron, ripe of grace, both traits and beauties blending.

Decoration

A PRECOCIOUS HYACINTH
