Random poem: Poems (Greenwood)/Love's emblems

LOVE'S EMBLEMS.

There was a rose, that blushing grew
 Within my life's young bower;
The angels sprinkled holy dew
 Upon the blessed flower.
I glory to resign it, love,
 Though it was dear to me;
Amid thy laurels twine it, love,
 It only blooms for thee.

There was a rich and radiant gem
 I long kept hid from sight;
Lost from some seraph's diadem,
 It shone with heaven's own light!
The world could never tear it, love,
 That gem of gems, from me;
Yet on thy fond breast wear it, love,
 It only shines for thee.

There was a bird came to my breast,
 When I was very young;
I only knew that sweet bird's nest,
 To me she only sung.
But, ah! one summer day, love,
 I saw that bird depart!
The truant flew thy way, love,
 And nestled in thy heart!
