THE ROSE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: FIXED TO HER NECKLACE, LIKE ANOTHER GEM
Last Line: AND MUST, INDEED, HAVE BEEN MUCH HAPPIER.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; ROSES;
FIXED to her necklace, like another gem,
A rose she wore -- the flower June made for her;
Fairer it looked than when upon the stem,
And must, indeed, have been much happier.
