THE SENIOR AND THE ROSE, by EVA LINNETTE SOULE First Line: A few faded rose-leaves Last Line: And what was that college man's name? Subject(s): Flowers; Roses; Schools; Students | ||||||||
A FEW faded rose-leaves -- A Freshman-year treasure -- I view you again with a sigh. Three years have I kept you In care without measure, And now must I tell you good-by? A rose that a Senior Once dropped and deserted, A rose from the bright banquet-hall, A rose that man gave me, When madly I flirted With him at the great Junior Ball. Alas for the rose-leaves! Confusion o'ercomes me! My cheek is quite crimson with shame! Which rose were you part of? And which Senior was she? And what was that college man's name? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
