If I were a bee and you were a rose, Would you let me in when the gray wind blows? Would you hold your petals wide apart, Would you let me in to find your heart, If you were a rose? "If I were a rose and you were a bee, You should never go when you came to me, I should hold my love on my heart at last, I should close my leaves and keep you fast, If you were a bee." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CACHE LA POUDRE by JAMES GALVIN THE PLACE OF PEACE by EDWIN MARKHAM TELLING THE BEES by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER A BLESSING FOR THE BLESSED by LAWRENCE ALMA-TADEMA BANNOCKS O' BARLEY by ROBERT BURNS MASQUE AT THE MARRIAGE OF THE EARL OF SOMERSET: MASQUERS SECOND DANCE by THOMAS CAMPION A RAINY NIGHT by WILLARD DOUGLAS COXEY |
