Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Juvenile Forget-Me-Not: A Christmas and New Year's Gift, or Birth-Day Present, 1833
With choicest ?owers from two fair wreaths, To twine a fairer still.
Reader! Full many a ?ower thou'lt find Our moral wreath adorn, That springs not in Life's sterile path The rose without the thorn; The nightshade's rich and regal hues, Without the bane it bears; The bloom that ?eets not with the sun; The wheat without the tares.
In riper age and graver hours, Thou 'lt think upon the rhymes Thou readest now, and sighing say, Ah, those were happy times!
Happy, ere Sorrow came to plant The thorn, or Death to sever.
