THE ROSE'S MESSAGE, by MARY WINCHESTER ABBOTT First Line: Can you read in the heart of a rose, love Last Line: Do not spurn it or crush it, my sweet! Subject(s): Flowers; Roses | |||
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...THE WHISPER OF THE ROSE by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG THE WISDOM OF THE ROSE by ELSA BARKER LOVE PLANTED A ROSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES ROSES; A VILANELLE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE PAINTER ON SILK by AMY LOWELL VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN WORDS IN A CERTAIN APPROPRIATE MODE by HAYDEN CARRUTH SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: FLETCHER MCGEE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
