The Last Rose of Summer






"Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming all alone,
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone.
No flower of her kindred,
No rose bud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh."
Sir John Stevenson

  1. I remember some verse, too

    Nobody knows
    this little rose
    It may a pilgrim be
    Did I not take
    it from its ways
    and lift it up to thee


    ... why I remember that, I don't know.
    but your rose brought it to mind
