TO MISS RAWLINSON by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: OF THE MANY FLOWERS YOU BROUGHT ME
Last Line: WAS THE BLOSSOM OF THE MAY.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; MAY (MONTH);
OF the many flowers you brought me,
Only some were meant to stay,
And the flower I thought the sweetest
Was the flower that went away.

Of the many flowers you brought me,
All were fair and fresh and gay,
But the flower I thought the sweetest
Was the blossom of the May.
