Christina Georgina Rossetti (Кристина Джорджина Россетти)

Song (O roses for the flush of youth)

O roses for the flush of youth,
  And laurel for the perfect prime;
But pluck an ivy branch for me
  Grown old before my time.

O violets for the grave of youth,
  And bay for those dead in their prime;
Give me the withered leaves I chose
  Before in the old time.
