"TIS THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER"



'Tis the last rose of Summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh!

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves o'er the bed
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.

So soon may I follow,
When friendships decay,
And from Love's shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie withered,
And fond ones are flown,
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?

Thomas Moore

"TIS THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER"
Thomas Moore



Ahhhhhhhh *sigh* now this man could write poetry.
The last stanza is a SWOON, so beautiful.

Thank You SAM for finding just the right poem.

fear of flying
desire to see you
i choose the latter
because you matter
