The First Rose on My Rose-Tree

Title:     The First Rose on My Rose-Tree
Author: Edna St Vincent Millay [More Titles by Millay]

The first rose on my rose-tree
Budded, bloomed, and shattered,
During sad days when to me
Nothing mattered.

Grief of grief has drained me clean;
Still it seems a pity
No one saw,--it must have been
Very pretty.

[The end]
Edna St Vincent Millay's poem: Three Songs Of Shattering
