"Blame's unjust"?
Sin blots out the universe,
All because she would and must?
XXIII.
She, my white rose, dropping off
The high rose-tree branch! and not
That the night-wind blew too rough,
Or the noon-sun burnt too hot,
But, that being a rose--'t was enough!
XXIV.
Then henceforth may earth grow trees!
No more roses! --hard straight lines
To score lies out! none of these
Fluctuant curves, but firs and pines,
Poplars, cedars, cypresses!
END OF THE FOURTH VOLUME.
