To A Whithered Rose Poem by John Kendrick Bangs

To A Whithered Rose

Rating: ★2.8


THY span of life was all too short—
A week or two at best—
From budding-time, through blossoming,
To withering and rest.

Yet compensation hast thou—aye!—
For all thy little woes;
For was it not thy happy lot
To live and die a rose?
