WHERE shall I find a white rose blowing?''" Out in the garden where all sweets be.''" But out in my garden the snow was snowing And never a white rose opened for me. Nought but snow and a wind were blowing And snowing. Where shall I find a blush rose blushing?''" On the garden wall or the garden bed.''" But out in my garden the rain was rushing And never a blush rose raised its head. Nothing glowing, flushing or blushing; Rain rushing. Where shall I find a red rose budding?''" Out in the garden where all things grow.''" But out in my garden a flood was flooding And never a red rose began to blow. Out in a flooding what should be budding? All flooding! Now is winter and now is sorrow, No roses but only thorns to-day: Thorns will put on roses to-morrow, Winter and sorrow scudding away. No more winter and no more sorrow To-morrow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN HOW IT ADDS UP by TONY HOAGLAND DISAPPOINTMENT by TONY HOAGLAND SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION by TONY HOAGLAND GRAY WEATHER by ROBINSON JEFFERS IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
