ROSES BLUSHING RED AND WHITE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: For death
Subject(s): FLOWERS;
Roses blushing red and white,
For delight;
Honeysuckle wreaths above,
For love;
Dim sweet-scented heliotrope,
For hope;
Shining lilies tall and straight,
For royal state;
Dusky pansies, let them be
For memory;
With violets of fragrant breath,
For death.
