The Rose

Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

When Sis' Rose th'ows open her heart too proud,
She blooms mighty brief in Beauty's crowd;
'Ca'ze the rains beat in an' de bees make free
'Tel de heart o' de rose is sad to see.
An' you ain't by yo'self, Sis' Rose, in dat--
No, you ain't by yo'self in dat.

[The end]
Ruth McEnery Stuart's poem: Rose
