SENT WITH A ROSE TO A YOUNG LADY by MARGARET WADE CAMPBELL DELAND

Poet Analysis

First Line: DEEP IN A ROSE'S GLOWING HEART
Last Line: "SHOULD HE SEND HALF THE WHOLE!"
DEEP in a Rose's glowing heart
I dropped a single kiss,
And then I bade it quick depart,
And tell my Lady this:
"The love thy Lover tried to send
O'erflows my fragrant bowl,
But my soft leaves would break and bend,
Should he send half the whole!"
