O GLORY-WEDDED! To thy brow <br />A coronal is given, <br />For Which, when song and Greece were young, <br />The very gods had striven. <br /> <br />O, find'st thou not that envied crown <br />A weary weight, and chilling? <br />Its lonely glory, is it not <br />An ice-touch, heartward thrilling? <br /> <br />Ah, no! e'en now a rosy light <br />Those vernal leaves is flushing; <br />0 woman-hearted, love's warm buds <br />Are 'mid thy laurels blushing!<br /><br />Grace Greenwood<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/valentine-to-miss-c-m-sedgwick/
