A ROSE, by ARLO BATES Poet's Biography First Line: Twas a jacqueminot rose Last Line: "went a kiss that I'm wearing." Subject(s): Flowers; Kisses; Love; Roses | |||
'TWAS a Jacqueminot rose That she gave me at parting; Sweetest flower that blows. 'Twas a Jacqueminot rose. In the love garden close, With the swift blushes starting, 'Twas a Jacqueminot rose That she gave me at parting. If she kissed it, who knows Since I will not discover, And love is that close, If she kissed it, who knows? Or if not the red rose Perhaps then the lover! If she kissed it, who knows, Since I will not discover. Yet at least with the rose Went a kiss that I'm wearing! More I will not disclose, Yet at least with the rose Went whose kiss no one knows, Since I'm only declaring, "Yet at least with the rose Went a kiss that I'm wearing." | 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 ON THE ROAD TO CHORRERA by ARLO BATES |
