An End So Cold

An end so cold

For love which disappoints the heart, so cold

As flowers she tight holds

This is her end

No one can mend

What death calls for to the cold waters

This is her end

No life to spend

Only an end so cold

Nettles for harming

And orchids for charming

Poppies for doom

And violets for gloom

An end so cold

With flowers which reminds her pain, so cold

As love in days of old

The end's coming fast

As water runs past

Flowers compose a scene so pleasing

Is up the past

Peaceful at last

Only an end so cold

Nettles for harming

And orchids for charming

Poppies for doom

And violets for gloom

Daisies for cleanness

And pansies for meanness

For death and sorrow

One forget-me-not

"Too much of water hast thou

Poor Ophelia"

Nettles for harming

And orchids for charming

Poppies for doom

And violets for gloom

Daisies for cleanness

And pansies for meanness

For death and sorrow

One forget-me-not
