Classic Poem

The Forsaken One to the Dewdrop

Sparkling dewdrop, clear and pearly,
Listen to my earnest call.
I'm a faded drooping flower;
On my brow and bosom fall.

I have seen the rosebud hide thee
In its bright and beauteous breast,
Like a blushing bride her diamond
As a love-gift pure and blest.

And it grew so fair and lovely,
And such fragrance round it shed,
That bright smiles were lingering o'er it
When its beauty all was fled.

Come to me, thou fairy jewel;
From my heart all moisture's gone,—
None to love me, nought to cheer me,
Dreams all vanished, sad and lone.

Come to me, O drop of heaven,
Pure and fragrant from the sky,
Like a drop of love and pity
From my guardian angel's eye.

Sparkling dew-drop, clear and pearly,
On my brow and bosom fall.
I'm a faded drooping flower;
On my brow and bosom fall.English
