Rose Of The Desert
By Thomas Moore
Rose of the Desert! thou, whose blushing ray, Lonely and lovely, fleets unseen away; No hand to cull thee, none to woo thy sigh,-- In vestal silence left to live and die.-- Rose of the Desert! thus should woman be, Shining uncourted, lone and safe, like thee. Rose of the Garden, how, unlike thy doom! Destined for others, not thyself, to bloom; Culled ere thy beauty lives thro' half its day; A moment cherished, and then cast away; Rose of the Garden! such is woman's lot,-- Worshipt while blooming--when she fades, forgot.
