O, what is the song this late, late rose is singing? <br />where will its petals fall, pale orange-yellow rose? <br />when shall the breeze and the rose cease laughing, dancing, <br />when will the raindrops bring time, and loss, and tears? <br /> <br />who wrote the song that the rose is singing, singing, <br />who painted petals on this fleeting rose? <br />when did the breeze discover dancing, dancing, <br />with roses that fade and fall in loss and time and tears? <br /> <br />after the rosefall, a colder breeze is blowing, <br />rose petals lie in drifts upon the ground; <br />but the breeze remembers, wintering red rose-hips, sowing <br />the rose’s spring and singing; remembering rose’s sound..<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0004-lyric-3-rosefall/
