A ROSARY, by CHARLES W. E. CHAPIN JR. First Line: Thy rosary the flowers shall be Last Line: In counting o'er thy beads, the flowers. | ||||||||
THY rosary the flowers shall be, And buds and blossoms be to thee The mystic beads the friar counts. And they shall speak thy heart's delight, Its love and joy by day and night. Then make me thy confessor, dear, And we will spend the summer hours In counting o'er thy beads, the flowers. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DEAD ASTRONOMER by CHARLES W.
