But, mourning better days, the widow here Still tries to make her little garden bloom — For she was country-born. No weeds appear. 202 THE VILLAGE PATRIARCH. Where her poor pinks deplore their prison-tomb ; To them, alas ! no second spring shall come ! And there, in May, the lilac gasps for breath ; And mint and thyme seem fain their woes to speak, Like saddest portraits, painted after death ; And spindling wallflowers, in the choking reek, For life, for life uplift their branches weak. Pale, d...windled lad, that on her slated shop Sett'st moss and groundsel from the frosty lea ' O'er them no more the tiny wren shall hop. Poor plants ! — poor child ! I pity them and thee 1 Yet blame I not wise Mercy's high decree. They fade — thou diest ; but thou to live again — To bloom in heav'n. And will thy flowers be there ? Heav'n without them, would smile for thee in vain. Thither, poor boy, the primrose shall repair, There violets breathe of England's dewy air, And daisies speak of her, that dearest one.
