LQVEAS GARDEN QQ ELIZABETH KAUFFMAN, '39 l wandered in lhe garden ol my hearl, While a slorm ol anger swelol lhe boughfbenl lreesg An ugly cloud ol darkness overhead Senl oul ol sighl lhe warming sun and bees. You were a rose, my dear, along a mossy balh- A guiy'ring llow'r whom l was giving paing And as you swayed againsl lhe slorm Your yelyel cheeks were wel wilh lears and rain. l gazed upon lhe garden ol my hearl lhal eye. There was a Cooling, damoning misl Thal sellled sollly on lhe leayes and A rose's lovely pelals genlly kissed. You were lhe rose, my dear, whom l had bruised In slormy moods. And as l walked along lhe lane' I saw your head was benl wilh guiel griel, And your lender cheeks were wel wilh lears and l slrolled lhroughoul lhe garden ol my hearl, And l smiled al your smiling 'nealh lhe sun. Your cheeks were damp wilh glisl'ning morning dew, lQr lears7l -- and you had lin'lly won. -lhroughoul lhe slorm, dear, you had benl, Bul ils ragings all had been in vain, For you liye on. And as you see lhe welness ol rain. My cheeks - you know lhal il's ol lears and nol ol rain. 'xy i' ,su 4. .Q w-K -'- . :..:'- v
