| 1074. Dorothy |
| | | By Rose Hawthorne Lathrop |
| |
| |
| DEAR little Dorothy, she is no more! | |
| I have wandered world-wide from shore to shore, | |
| I have seen as great beauties as ever were wed; | |
| But none can console me for Dorothy dead. | |
| |
| Dear little Dorothy! How strange it seems | 5 |
| That her face is less real than the faces of dreams; | |
| That the love which kept true, and the lips which so spoke, | |
| Are more lost than my heart, which died not when it broke! | |
