Went up a year this evening! I recollect it well! Amid no bells nor bravoes The bystanders will tell! Cheerful - as to the village - Tranquil - as to repose - Chastened - as to the Chapel This humble Tourist rose! Did not talk of returning! Alluded to no time When, were the gales propitious - We might look for him! Was grateful for the Roses In life's diverse bouquet - Talked softly of new species To pick another day; Beguiling thus the wonder The wondrous nearer drew - Hands bustled at the moorings - The crowd respectful grew - Ascended from our vision To countenances new! A Difference - A Daisy - Is all the rest I knew!
