I walked in a garden of beauty today. All nature was working silently Weaving the mantle that makes life worthwhile So there in a rose I found your smile, Deep down in the crimson hue Sublime likeness dear of you. Its petals soft and beauteous hold Love for you I fondly fold; Fragrance and the morning dew Seem to know that I love you; Singing birds high in a tree Your voice entwines the melody. A gilded butterfly soars and dips In delicate caverns of cupped tulips. I seek your lovely hand to hold Instead is reached kind marigold. There will I spend unnumbered hours For you are my queen among the flowers. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHISPER OF THE ROSE by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG THE WISDOM OF THE ROSE by ELSA BARKER LOVE PLANTED A ROSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES ROSES; A VILANELLE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE PAINTER ON SILK by AMY LOWELL VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN |
