Alan Seeger - On A Theme In The Greek AnthologyAlan Seeger - On A Theme In The Greek Anthology
Work rating: Low


Thy petals yet are closely curled, Rose of the world, Around their scented, golden core; Nor yet has Summer purpled o`er Thy tender clusters that begin To swell within The dewy vine-leaves` early screen Of sheltering green. O hearts that are Love`s helpless prey, While yet you may, Fly, ere the shaft is on the string! The fire that now is smouldering Shall be the conflagration soon Whose paths are strewn With torment of blanched lips and eyes That agonize.
