FRAGMENT, by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOESPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: A veined petal closes over Last Line: In the moon's visionary smile.
A veinèd petal closes over A dewy spark Ere Eve is dark, And starry fireflies flit and hover, Dreams of the Rose, O'er it repose; So bend thy head, and sleep awhile In the Moon's visionary smile.
