'TIS BUT

A Little Faded Flower.

PRICE ONE PENNY.
Copies can always be had at 80 London St., Glasgow.

Air.?Original.

'Tis but a little faded flow'r,
But oh ! how fondly dear,
'Twill bring me back one golden hour,
Through many, through many a weary year.
I may not to the world impart
The secret, the secret of its power,
But treasur'd in my inmost heart
I keep my faded flow'r,
I keep my faded flow'r.
Tis but a little faded flow'r,
But oh! how fondly dear,
'Twill bring me back one golden hour,
Through many, through many a weary year.

Where is the heart that doth not keep,
Within its inmost core,
Some fond remembrance hidden deep
Of days, of days that are no more ?
Who hath not saved some trifling thing,
More priz'd than jewels rare ?
A faded flow'r, a broken ring,
A tress of golden hair,
A tress of golden hair.
'Tis but a little faded flow'r,
But oh! how fondly dear,
'Twill bring me back one golden hour,
Through many, through many a weary year.
