OH, touch that rosebud! it will bloom -- My lady fair! A passionate red in dim green gloom, A joy, a splendor, a perfume That sleeps in air. You touched my heart; it gave a thrill Just like a rose That opens at a lady's will; Its bloom is always yours, until You bid it close. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHISPER OF THE ROSE by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG THE WISDOM OF THE ROSE by ELSA BARKER LOVE PLANTED A ROSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES ROSES; A VILANELLE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE PAINTER ON SILK by AMY LOWELL VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN WORDS IN A CERTAIN APPROPRIATE MODE by HAYDEN CARRUTH IF by EDWARD JAMES MORTIMER COLLINS |
