TO A ROSE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Go, rose, and in her golden hair
Last Line: Shall place your body in the tomb!
Subject(s): Flowers; Roses


Go, Rose, and in her golden hair
You shall forget the garden soon;
The sunshine is a captive there
And crowns her with a constant noon.

And when your spicy odor goes,
And fades the beauty of your bloom,
Think what a lovely hand, O Rose,
Shall place your body in the tomb!
