A yellow Austin rose....
*****
...from my garden - especially for you ......
A wonderful weekend for you all - I hope you'll enjoy this sunny days!
It was a little budding rose,
Round like a fairy globe,
And shyly did its leaves unclose
Hid in their mossy robe,
But sweet was the slight and spicy smell
It breathed from its heart invisible.
The rose is blasted, withered, blighted,
Its root has felt a worm,
And like a heart beloved and slighted,
Failed, faded, shrunk its form.
Bud of beauty, bonnie flower,
I stole thee from thy natal bower.
I was the worm that withered thee,
Thy tears of dew all fell for me;
Leaf and stalk and rose are gone,
Exile earth they died upon.
Yes, that last breath of balmy scent
With alien breezes sadly blent!
Emily Bronte

One more peah-coloured beauty from this mysterious garden of yours: you say it's small and yet there seems to grow an endless number of flowers in it. Fantastic. Bw, ViolaThomas Ripplinger 14/10/2011 21:53
