BITTER FOR SWEET by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: SUMMER IS GONE WITH ALL ITS ROSES
Last Line: AND THE LAST BUDS CEASE BLOWING.
Subject(s): AUTUMN; FLOWERS; SEASONS; WINTER; FALL;
Summer is gone with all its roses.
Its sun and perfumes and sweet flowers,
Its warm air and refreshing showers:
And even Autumn closes.
Yea, Autumn's chilly self is going,
And Winter comes which is yet colder;
Each day the hoar-frost waxes bolder,
And the last buds cease blowing.
