THE FLOWER OF THE HEART, by STUART MERRILL Poet's Biography First Line: Others may roses sing Last Line: And the flower of the heart is distress. Subject(s): Love - Unrequited | |||
Others may roses sing, The flower of the heart is distress. O! Life is a dreary thing, When she you love is merciless. Love is dead! She'll tell you why, Who is laughing in shamelessness. Poor lover, go thy way, head high, And never come back in a false dress. There are other women, they swear, There is other loveliness. But this lover loved his fair. And the flower of the heart is distress. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON TUTTO E SCIOLTO by JAMES JOYCE APPULDURCOMBE PARK by AMY LOWELL TALE OF THE MAYOR'S SON by GLYN MAXWELL ELEGY FOR AN ENEMY by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ESSAY ON WHAT I THINK ABOUT MOST by ANNE CARSON AGAINST THY KNEES by STUART MERRILL BALLADE OF THE CHINESE LOVER by STUART MERRILL BALLADE OF THE OUTCASTS: THE ENVOY OF THE OUTCASTS by STUART MERRILL |
