Such are the visions that fade away - Man proposes and God disposes; Look in the glass and I see today Only an old man, worn and grey, Bending his head to a bunch of roses... What a philosophy. thank u dear poet
This is definitely a beautiful and interesting poem. It seems this was someone in love with a " Rose' that had passed away. Touching to say the least.
Great poem of love distilled in nostalgia with a touch of eternal beauty. Thanks.
This is an excellent poem on nature and beautifully crafted to enjoy reading. Loved it.
Man proposes and God disposes; ....outstanding conceptualization. It is a beautiful poem composed by Roses by Banjo Paterson.
