THE ROSE-BUSH IN AUTUMN, by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR Poet's Biography First Line: I know, and the sunset-angel knows Last Line: And the tints of its topmost spray! Alternate Author Name(s): Dean Subject(s): Autumn; Flowers; Roses; Seasons; Fall | ||||||||
I KNOW, and the sunset-angel knows, Painter nor palette could paint the rose, The bush that tall by the border grows And waves in the wind to-day! Ruby and brown where the green has fled, Bronzed, and brightened with gold and red, Purple and amber, so lit and wed By the sun in the soft blue overhead And the light wind's careless sway, That the perfect bloom of its summer flowers Is poor to the wealth of these autumn hours, And the richest jewels of Asia's mines Are pale to the hues of its pendent vines And the tints of its topmost spray! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV COLUMBUS DYING [MAY 20, 1506] by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR SA-CA-GA-WE-A; THE INDIAN GIRL WHO GUIDED LEWIS AND CLARK by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR |
