TO MY FIOR-DI-LISA, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The rose is love's own flower, and love's no less
Last Line: In the deep-hearted rose.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Flowers; Lilies; Love; Roses


The Rose is Love's own flower, and Love's no less
The Lily's tenderness.
Then half their dignity must Roses yield
To Lilies of the field?
Nay, diverse notes make up true harmony,
All-fashioned loves agree:
Love wears the Lily's whiteness, and Love glows
In the deep-hearted Rose.
