It drooped and it faded, my rose of beauty rare. The frost king raged madly. -- Then softly bent earthward its blossom sweet and fair, And languished so sadly. But God to His bosom the dying flower inclining, Enwreathed in His glory the rose petals shining. Sleep, dear one, in peace; in peace; Unbroken peace. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND LAMENT by GUDMUNDUR GUDMUNDSSON |
