BARGAIN by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE

Poet Analysis

First Line: A ROSE WILL COST YOU MORE
Last Line: THIS.
Subject(s): CRUCIFIXION; FLOWERS; ROSES; SINGING & SINGERS; JESUS CHRIST - CRUCIFIXION;

A rose will cost you more
Than its gathering;
A song be such a price
You dare not sing.

What must you pay for each,
Else loveliness fare amiss?
Yourself nailed to a Tree --
This.
