Grace Hazard Conkling - To Hilda of Her Roses

Grace Hazard Conkling - To Hilda of Her Roses

ENOUGH has been said about roses br To fill thirty thick volumes; br There are as many songs about roses br As there are roses in the world br That includes Mexico . . . the Azores… Oregon… br br It is a pity your roses br Are too late for Omar . . . br It is a pity Keats has gone . . . br br Yet there must be something left to say br Of flowers like these! br Adventurers, br They pushed their way br Through dewy tunnels of the June night br Now they confer….. br A little tremulous….. br Dazzled by the yellow sea-beach of morning br br If Herrick would tiptoe back . . .
