RAIN AND ROSES Rain and Roses Rain and Roses By JEANNETTE FRASER HENSHALL To My Daughter Beulah 1923 THE STRATFORD CO., Publishers Boston, Massachusetts Beulah Publishers Copyright, 1923 The STRATFORD CO., Publishers Boston, Mass. The Alpine Press, Boston, Mass., U. S. A. Contents {1} {1} Inadequate FRIEND of my heart when you’re away F I fashion for my tongue, A thousand things to say to you But dear heart when you come, How needless is my well formed phrase, And my care chosen words, Take swift and sudden flight away, Like small wind-riven birds.
