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...GRANDFATHER'S LOVE by SARA TEASDALE A MAN TO A WOMAN by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS AMERICAN NAMES by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 35 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING HOW IT STRIKES A CONTEMPORARY by ROBERT BROWNING THE FALL OF HYPERION; A DREAM by JOHN KEATS SONNET: 9.
