ROSES are but for a day,"A Little Song" by Florence Earle Coates. Published in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine (March 1909), Lyrics of Life (1909) and Poems (1916) Volume I.
Amaranths endure for ever;
Joys there be that fade away,
Dreams that perish never;
But, whate'er the future's holding,—
Crown of all, all else enfolding,—
Love lives on!
Well they know, who with content
Hear his oft-repeated story,
How to earthly glooms are lent
Reflexes of glory!
Rapture's first and final giver,
Star of Charon's rayless river,—
Love lives on!
