Poet Analysis

First Line: THE PETALS OF THE FADED ROSE
Last Line: OR BREATHES IN LOVE SUBLIME.
Subject(s): TRANSIENCE; IMPERMANENCE;
The petals of the faded rose
Commingle silently,
One with the atoms of the dust,
One with the chaliced sea.

The essence of my fleeting youth
Caught in the web of time,
Exhales within the springing flowers
Or breathes in love sublime.
