The Rose Family Poem by Robert Frost

The Rose Family

Rating: 3.6


The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But the theory now goes
That the apple's a rose,
And the pear is, and so's
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose -
But were always a rose.

Indeed, only Frost has such lightness of touch. He makes the rest of us seem heavy-handed.

I say the poem's about inner beauty, where everything is as beautiful as a rose on the inside.

Replace 'rose' with Absolute Consciousness and it explains the Vedanta view that by whatever name and form we may define the manifestation it is yet the same Absolute Reality.
