My best regards and thanks. Your pennant fine, (No! Now ' tis mine) Enrolls me in your ranks. What does it say. This emblem gay? What mean its colo rs clear? Is joy foretold? Is grief enrolled In this, your pennant dear? It hath a thought. It it is sought. In both its rose and gray. And this I see. For you and me. After the dark comes day. Dread gray of night Precedes the light; Darkness gives no warning. The tints and hues Mingle and fuse, At breaking o ' th ' morning. But rose and gray; Both come each day; Light and shadows blended. Fullness of life, Its joy and strife, These make life so splendid. Rose! Blush of love; Blue skies above; Spring time, joy eternal. Gray! Bread and hash; Labor for cash; Winter, nothing vernal. The flush of youth Is seen in truth. In Rose, emblematic. But Gray old age Doth warn the sage. Of pains, dull rheumatic. The red, red rose, Baby ' s pink toes Thes colors do reveal. A muddy splash. My cigar ' s ash. This pennant doth conceal. Rose flush of cheek, (Tho aspect ' s meek) It ' s beauty does display. But dull, gray fear. Keeps drawing near; Time drives our joys away. The rose in June, Sets hearts attune; June comes but once each year. Gray November, Bleak December, Make shadows doubly drear. The rose for youth; It is forsooth. Fit color for this class. The gray ' s for me; For don ' t I see What ' s in my looking glass? The Rose will fade; Fickle as a maid Are her tints now so bright. But Gray means rest; And that is best; Rest, like slumber at night.
