FLOWERS FOR MY FRIEND, by BLANCHE CHALFANT TUCKER First Line: The flowers that I would give my friend Last Line: While he can see. Subject(s): Flowers; Friendship; Love - Loss Of | ||||||||
The flowers that I would give my friend Are now aglow. Were I to keep them till he dies He would not know That each rare petal speaks of me My love for him; my faith in him, My constancy. Too many wait till loved ones go Before they show A sentiment which reads like this: I loved him so ... The world may read, but oh, not he; So I shall show my friend his flowers While he can see. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE A SCOTCH SONG by JOANNA BAILLIE LOVE AGLOW by BLANCHE CHALFANT TUCKER |
