THE ROSES OF SAADI, by DESBORDES VALMORE First Line: This morning I had roses for thee found Last Line: Breathe on my bosom, love, their odours blent. Subject(s): Flowers; Love; Roses | ||||||||
THIS morning I had roses for thee found, But I did hold them in my girdle bound So tightly that they tumbled to the ground. The bonds were broken, and the swift wind bore Thy gathered roses to the sea-brimmed shore Over the water to return no more. The waves seemed red and flaming where they went. This eve my raiment is still redolent: Breathe on my bosom, love, their odours blent. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHISPER OF THE ROSE by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG THE WISDOM OF THE ROSE by ELSA BARKER LOVE PLANTED A ROSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES ROSES; A VILANELLE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE PAINTER ON SILK by AMY LOWELL VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN WORDS IN A CERTAIN APPROPRIATE MODE by HAYDEN CARRUTH HIS RETURN by DESBORDES VALMORE |
