IN the South is Love's land,
Where the roses blow,
Where the Summer lingers
Fearless of the snow.
There no Winter chills it,
So its life is long, --
Gentle breezes fan it,
Age but makes it strong.
"Nay, fresh roses wither
Where the sun is hot, --
Not in torrid regions
Blooms Forget-me-not.
Love's a tender blossom
Which the Winter chills,
But the eager Summer
Kisses it, and kills."
