Classic and Contemporary Poetry
ATTAINMENT, by ALGERNON TASSIN
First Line: Through my open window comes the sweet perfuming
Last Line: And yet was never there a rose but died in blooming.
First Line: Through my open window comes the sweet perfuming
Last Line: And yet was never there a rose but died in blooming.
THROUGH my open window comes the sweet perfuming
Of roses reddening under skies of June;
No sight more fair than roses in red bloom,
No air more sweet than doth the rose perfume;
And yet was never there a rose but died in blooming.
