ROSE-SCENTED GERANIUM .

No wonder that cheek, in its teinting transcendent,
Excelleth the beauty of others by far;
No wonder that eye is so richly resplendent —
Your heart is a rose, and your soul is a star!

Then give back to heaven the light it bestows,
Till the star smile again in its birthplace above;
But oh! let me share the soft bloom of the rose ,
Yield, yield the warm heart to my cherishing love!
