TWO QUESTIONS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Heart of the soft, wild rose
Last Line: Life, is there more for me?
Subject(s): Life


HEART of the soft, wild rose
Hid in a forest close
Far from the world away,
Sweet for a night and day.
Rose, is it good to be sweet,
Sun and the dews to greet?
Life that is mine to keep
In travail, play and sleep
Firm on a tossing ball,
Drilled to march at a call;
Work, love, death -- these three --
Life, is there more for me?
