SWEET ROSE! WHOSE TENDER FOLIAGE TO EXPAND, by PIETRO METASTASIO Poet's Biography Last Line: Immortal fragrance, and unwithering bloom. Alternate Author Name(s): Trapassi, Pietro Antonio Domenico Subject(s): Roses | ||||||||
Her fostering dews the morning lightly shed, Whilst gales of balmy breath thy blossoms fanned, And o'er thy leaves the soft suffusion spread: That hand, whose care withdrew thee from the ground, To brighter worlds thy favoured charms hath borne; Thy fairest buds, with grace perennial crowned, There breathe and bloom, released from every thorn. Thus, far removed, and now transplanted flower! Exposed no more to blast or tempest rude, Sheltered with tenderest care from frost or shower, And each rough season's chill vicissitude, Now may thy form in bowers of peace assume Immortal fragrance, and unwithering bloom. | 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 CANTATA DELLO STRESSO by PIETRO METASTASIO ELEGIAC SONNET: 17.
