Hhe little red ribbon,the ring!
and the rose!
The summertime comes and
the summertime goes*-
And never a blossom in all of the land
As white as the gleam of her beckoning hand!
T~HE long winter months,and t! te glare
1 of the .snows;
The little red ribbon, the ring, and ihe rose!
And never a glimmer of sun in the skies
As bright as the light of her glorious eyes!
FAREAMS only are true; but the£ fade
and are gone,
forhertace is not herewhqnl waken atdavTn;
The little red ribbon, the ring and fjie rose
Mineo nls.; lhe dream & repose.
I am weary of waiting,and of 'ears,
And mp heart wearies, too, ail these
desolafe^ears.
Moaning over the one prtF song that it Imows.-
The little red ribbon, the ring and the rose!
