SONGS OF MIRZA SCHAFFY, SELECTION, by FRIEDRICH MARTIN VON BODENSTEDT First Line: The rose complained, her fragrance fled Last Line: And there forevermore was living. | |||
The rose complained, her fragrance fled, Ah, far too swiftly it was going-- The lovely scent that spring was giving. And then to comfort her I said, Her fragrance through my songs was flowing, And there forevermore was living. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NOW CLOSE THE WINDOWS by ROBERT FROST THE SNUG LITTLE ISLAND by THOMAS FROGNALL DIBDIN IMPRESSION by EDMUND WILLIAM GOSSE MAPLE LEAVES by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH |
