WILTED is the leaf, and blown <br />By the cold wind up and down, <br />That beheld thy promise fair, <br />Maiden with the dark brown hair! <br /> <br />Shatter'd is this heart, and hurl'd <br />By its grief-storm thro' the world, <br />Since it won that promise rare, <br />Maiden with the dark-brown hair! <br /> <br />Go thy ways! thy locks upbraid! <br />Thou hast but thyself betray'd, <br />And must e'en my pity share, <br />Maiden with the dark-brown hair!<br /><br />Joseph Skipsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wilted-leaf/
