See yon opening flower
Spreads its fragrance to the blast;
It fades within an hour,
Its decay is pale—is fast.
Paler is yon maiden;
Faster is her heart's decay;
Deep with sorrow laden,
She sinks in death away.
Spreads its fragrance to the blast;

Paler is yon maiden;
Faster is her heart's decay;
Deep with sorrow laden,
She sinks in death away.
