- Inscription
- The wild rose bud / Ah why did I gather this delicate flower / Why pluck the young bud from the tree / It would have bloomd lovely for many an hour / And how soon will it perish with me. / Already its beautiful texture decays / Already it fades on my sight / Tis thus that chill languor too oftin or pays / The moments of transient delight. / When eargerly praising enjoyment too near / Its blossoms we gather in haste / How often we mourn with a penetent tear / Oer the joys that we lavish in waste. / Joseph P Rogers / Sarah Rogers / Sarah ann Rogers / Hannah Rogers / Abraham Rogers / Samuel Rogers //
