The Last Rose of Summer

Thomas Moore (1779–1852)


’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?
 
here I am... You can put this in your purse

wowowo Waynel, this is what I call poetry. sad but beautiful, thanks buddy :)

Oh I forgot its also very classy and sophisticated!! such pretty words, like the poster himself eh?;)

Now if Im that rose I'd like to be alone, all the more beautiful and noticable, better than being just a number in a bunch (or should I say a bouquet , sounds french and pretty doesn't it ;) )

Sounds fair :D

It takes a new dimension again when music is added:

 
New girl new girl, give us a rhyme
doesnt have to be in time
But please oh please change the text size
Or my eyes will have their demise

Hi BB :D

sounds like habibi, which means darl in arabic ;) of course it gets much more complicated when you translate poetry from greek to arabic to english back to greek again ;) but well get to that later............anyway, I love it when people write poetry about me :D

ps I only make it that size cause I feel guilty taking so much space and keeping you poets out ;)
 
Here's a poem I just made up

Let's face we'd never get along...
you'd be too much like my bratty little sister...
we'd have arguments in the car about the stereo...
we will have arguments all the time...
I will always win...
Sorry new girl but outside you will go...
