SENT TO A LADY WITH FLOWERS by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: TAKE THE LAST FLOWERS YOUR NATAL DAY
Last Line: THAT SMILE WOULD WIN ME FROM THE SKIES.
Subject(s): BIRTHDAYS; FLOWERS;
Take the last flowers your natal day
May ever from my hand receive!
Sweet as the former ones are they,
And sweet alike be those they leave.

Another, in the year to come,
May offer them to smiling eyes;
That smile would wake me from the tomb,
That smile would win me from the skies.
