First Line: The sharp sweet scent of rose pinks
Last Line: And write a song of grief!
Subject(s): Love - Complaints
The sharp sweet scent of rose pinks,
Warm fragrance of the corn,
Closed buds with quiet patience
Waiting to be born.
Green silver of the oat fields,
Wet sunlight on a leaf. ...
—Strange to take a man's love,
And write a song of grief!
