True Love.

Topics: classic

Her love is like the hardy flower     That blooms amid the Alpine snows;     Deep-rooted in an icy bower,     No blast can chill its sweet repose;     But fresh as is the tropic rose,     Drenched in mellowest sunny beams,     It has as sweet delicious dreams     As any flower that grows.     And though an avalanche came down     And robbed it of the light of day,     That which withstood the tempest's frown     In grief would never pine away.     Hope might withhold her feeblest ray,     Within her bosom's snowy tomb     Love still would wear its everbloom,     The gayest of the gay.
