ROSES, by HELEN AUGUR First Line: Roses bloomed on every bush Last Line: Ah, what a fool was I! Subject(s): Flowers; Roses; Wellesley College | |||
ROSES bloomed on every bush And sweet was all the air As I walked into Shelburne town The morning of the Fair. Roses bloomed on every bush And soft was all the air As I walked in and up and down The morning of the Fair. "Give me a rose, sweet maid," I said "And I'll give you two for one." I kissed her then and each cheek showed A red rose of its own. Roses bloomed on every bush And sweet was all the air As I walked out of Shelburne town The evening of the Fair. Roses bloomed on every bush, The stars laughed in the sky. I'd left my heart in Shelburne town -- Ah, what a fool was I! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES WRITTEN TO A TRANSLATOR OF GREEK POETRY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON THE LESSER BEAUTY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON WORK by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON IN MEMORY: MISS JEWETT by GRACE ALLERTON ANDREWS HERE ENTER NOT by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON I CLEANED MY HOUSE TODAY by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON MY GARDEN by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON |
