CAN you read in the heart of a rose, love, A message of love strong and true? Can you hear in the scent that it gives, love, A whisper of longing for you? Can you feel in the petals that fall, love, That a true heart is pining away? Can you know in the thorns of the stem, love, The pain that that heart feels each day? Will you read the dear message I send, love, In the roses I lay at your feet? Oh, believe that the rose heart is mine, love; Do not spurn it or crush it, my sweet! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PARTING AT MORNING by ROBERT BROWNING THE PLAINT OF THE CAMEL by CHARLES EDWARD CARRYL A CLEAR MIDNIGHT by WALT WHITMAN TO A GARDEN IN APRIL by WALTER CONRAD ARENSBERG MIND IN CREATION by RICHARD BLACKMORE |
