Wordless Wednesday:The last rose of summer has a Georgia O'Keefe feel about it.
|
| ’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, | |
| To 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? | |
|
|
Oh, the colors are so beautiful! I love roses that have 2 or 3 colors to them. Great capture!
