I'm a sweet, sweet pea,
And I come in early spring
To listen to the bee,
When 'tis first upon the wing :
The roses on their stem
More beautiful may be ;
But I will not envy them.
I'm a sweet, sweet pea !
They tell me I shall go
When the summer-time is past;
I'm au annual, I know,
Too sweet, perhaps, to last:
Too delicate a flower,
Rude winter's face to see,
1 bloom in sunshine's hour,
A sweet, sweet pea !
There's a thorn upon the rose,
That repels affection's press;—
I never wounded those
Who gave me their caress.
Though its beauty soon is past,
And neglected it may be,
It is grateful to the last—
The sweet, sweet pea !
