THE FAVORITE FLOWER, by MARIANNE CLARKE First Line: Wild rose! Sweet rose, your beauty charms the heart Last Line: With friendship's call we thrive, our future glows. Subject(s): Flowers; Roses | |||
Wild Rose! sweet rose, your beauty charms the heart, Your flowers hail the nation's growing cheer, The leaves unfold to welcome childhood's part In blooming peace as signaled over here. While sunshine gleams with kindness on the way, Both rose and robin prize their mutual care, With fitting high lights to adorn the day Encircling glory sparkles in the air. Since bird and rose are dear, their joy encores Our own fair country's progress on the wing, "All For Good Will" exchanged as knowledge scores, A happy land of fellowship to ring: -- Ambassador of love, the world-wide rose, With friendship's call we thrive, our future glows. | 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 EDWIN MARKHAM by MARIANNE CLARKE |
