BURNT ARE THE PETALS1 OF LIFE

    BURNT are the petals of life as a rose fallen and crumbled2 to dust.

    Blackened the heart of the past is, ashes that must Forever be sifted3, more precious than sunbeams that open the budding to-morrow. Once was a passion completed,-too perfect, the Gods have not broken to borrow-Blackened the heart of the past is, ashes that must Forever be sifted. O, loving to-morrow The rose of the past is, Life-Eternity's dust.
