ROSAMOND'S ROSE, by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Rosamond gave me a rose Last Line: Rose-red and alive in the sun. Alternate Author Name(s): Chandler, Ellen Louise Subject(s): Flowers; Roses | ||||||||
ROSAMOND gave me a rose, Rose-red and alive in the sun: Ah, what was its secret? Who knows? -- Her garden held only that one. Now alive in my heart it glows; By its magic my peace is undone -- There are spells that the wise should shun -- Rosamond gave me a rose. But where is my old repose? She calls -- to her feet I run: Oh, who shall the secret disclose? Or how was my bondage begun? -- Rosamond gave me a rose, Rose-red and alive in the sun. | 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 A PAINTED FAN by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON |
