Rossetti, Christina Georgina, 1830-1894, Hughes, Arthur, 1832-1915, ill · London : Macmillan · leaf 92
If hope grew on a bush, And joy grew on a tree,What a nosegay for the plucking There would be ! But oh ! in windy autumn,When frail flowers wither, What should we do for hope and joy,Fading together ? 70 … JTi I planted a hand And there came up a palm,I planted a heart And there came up balm. Then I planted a wish,But there sprang a thorn, While heaven frowned with thunderAnd earth sighed forlorn.
