SONG by ISAAC ROSENBERG

Poet Analysis

First Line: A SILVER ROSE TO SHOW
Last Line: SMALL POOLS THEIR PRISONS ARE.
Subject(s): STARS;
A silver rose to show
Is your sweet face;
And like the heavens' white brow,
Sometime God's battle-place,
Your blood is quiet now.

Your body is a star
Unto my thought;
But stars are not too far,
And can be caught --
Small pools their prisons are.
