THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER

Now that the summer is gone but not forgotten, we are still enjoying the roses in the garden. As long as the weather stays mild, the roses will keep on blooming. I walked around the garden this morning and there were some lovely roses still in bloom.

Here is "Tess of the d'Urbervilles rose I just picked up this morning. It's smaller than the spring bloom but more intense in color.

Here is a lovely poem written by Thomas Moore (1779-1852) that carries my sentiment for the season.

THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER

‘Tis the last rose of summer

Left blooming alone;

All her lovely companions

Are faded and gone;

No flower of her kindred

No rosebud, is nigh,

To reflect back her blushes

To give sigh for sigh.

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,

To pine on the stem;

Since the lovely are sleeping

Go sleep thou with them.

Thus kindly I scatter

Thy leaves o'er the bed,

Where thy mates of the garden

Lie scentless and dead.
