Catherine - Part 13

On holiday they all come flaunting
With pretty sweethearts for delight,
And frolic in the blossoming night;—
I walk alone; the best is wanting.

An ailing man, I wander lonely;
I flee the mirth, the dancing feet,
The shining lamp, the music sweet;—
I think of England only.

I pluck the rose, and know not whither
Its budding beauty to bestow;
Musing I walk and full of woe—
My heart and the roses wither.
