The Death Of The Rose Comments

A treasure for all joy to ponder on, Laid up for aye in old Time's palaces, A ``thing of beauty'' which my soul had won, Death is made undying with a kiss. tony

Full- hearted flower, thou didst not shrink nor flee When the steel touched thee. No sad memories Made what thou knew not terrible to thee, And death came on thee like a sad surprise. a very fine Poem. tony
