Classic and Contemporary Poetry


JULY by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON

First Line: THE SHARP SWEET SCENT OF ROSE PINKS
Last Line: AND WRITE A SONG OF GRIEF!
Subject(s): LOVE - COMPLAINTS;

The sharp sweet scent of rose pinks,
Warm fragrance of the corn,
Closed buds with quiet patience
Waiting to be born.

Green silver of the oat fields,
Wet sunlight on a leaf. ...
—Strange to take a man's love,
And write a song of grief!
