ONCE MORE THE ROSE DOTH BLOOM, by                     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Absorbed in useful play
Subject(s): Roses


Once more the rose doth bloom
That drooped awhile before,
Softly reposing on
The lily-flowers of yore,
And pupils shimmer bright
With eager sparks of light.

Cheeks are filled plumply out
The pretty face to frame,
And round about the mouth
Flitteth a smile like flame
Of vivid lightning sped
To lips again flushed red.

The tresses that a net,
Alas, was wont to hold,
Free down his shoulders now
Ripple like streams of gold,
Waiting new whims whence they
May curl in artful way.

His ever restless feet
New vigour's comfort find ;
Nature supports him, lest
He bow before the wind,
There where are children gay
Absorbed in useful play.
