William Schwenck Gilbert - Solatium

William Schwenck Gilbert - Solatium

Comes the broken flower - br Comes the cheated maid - br Though the tempest lower, br Rain and cloud will fade! br Take, O maid, these posies: br Though thy beauty rare br Shame the blushing roses, br They are passing fair! br Wear the flowers till they fade; br Happy be thy life, O maid! br br O'er the season vernal, br Time may cast a shade; br Sunshine, if eternal, br Makes the roses fade: br Time may do his duty; br Let the thief alone - br Winter hath a beauty br That is all his own.
