'Sans peser. -- Sans rester.' A KISS. ROSE kissed me to-day. Will she kiss me to-morrow? Let it be as it may, Rose kissed me to-day, But the pleasure gives way To a savour of sorrow; -- Rose kissed me to-day, -- Will she kiss me to-morrow? CIRCE. IN the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar: -- O, they fish with all nets In the School of Coquettes! When her brooch she forgets 'Tis to show her new collar; In the School of Coquettes Madam Rose is a scholar! A TEAR. THERE'S a tear in her eye, -- Such a clear little jewel! What can make her cry? There's a tear in her eye. 'Puck has killed a big fly, -- And it's horribly cruel'; There's a tear in her eye, -- Such a clear little jewel! A GREEK GIFT. HERE'S a present for Rose, How pleased she is looking! Is it verse? -- is it prose? Here's a present for Rose! 'Plats,' 'Entrees,' and 'Rots,' -- Why, it's 'Gouffe on Cooking.' Here's a present for Rose, How pleased she is looking! 'URCEUS EXIT.' I INTENDED an Ode, And it turned to a Sonnet. It began a la mode, I intended an Ode; But Rose crossed the road In her latest new bonnet; I intended an Ode; And it turned to a Sonnet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HE RULETH NOT THROUGH HE RAIGNE OVER REALMES by THOMAS WYATT THE CRYSTAL CABINET by WILLIAM BLAKE PARTED by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR GRASS FINGERS by ANGELINA WELD GRIMKE ON A CHILD by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR |
