A ROSE, by MIRIAM DEL BANCO First Line: I send to thee this fair and fragrant rose Last Line: And seek the sunbeam through the wintry snows. Subject(s): Flowers; Hearts; Love; Roses; Spring | ||||||||
I send to thee this fair and fragrant rose, Now, while the earth is desolate and bare; I send it to thee through the silvery snows That float, like down, upon the silent air, And should thy heart be sad o'er summer's death Thy tender heart that mourns each fading thing O, let the petals soft, the fragrant breath Speak of the resurrection of the spring; Then will a thousand buds burst into bloom, To gem the hills and grace the woodland lone; A thousand joys will struggle through the gloom, Far sweeter than thy heart has ever known. Read thou this message, darling, in the rose, And seek the sunbeam through the wintry snows. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A DREAM OF LIFE by MIRIAM DEL BANCO A FLOW'RET IN THE GARLAND; FOR OUT GREAT CENTENARIAN by MIRIAM DEL BANCO |
