Reason A. Poteet Poet Terzanelle

Rose of Sharon

Here dwells a rose all may embrace,
a mystery well worth our time,
thornless rose, the essence of grace.

Here a spot, secured and sublime,
a Gardner unspeakably wise,
a mystery well worth our time.

Enter some blooms with odd disguise,
behold this garden’s rare design -
a Gardner unspeakably wise.

Planter engrafts them to His vine.
“Peace comes to them on quiet feet”
beholding garden’s rare design.

"The summer night is still and sweet
 With flowers on every tree
 Peace comes to them on quiet feet"

Splendor’s commons where all agree
here dwells a rose all may embrace,
“With flowers on every tree,”
Thornless rose, the essence of grace.

I chose these lines from Sara Teasdale's poem,  "But Not to Me"
changing her word, April, to summer.  

"The April night is still and sweet
 With flowers on every tree
 Peace comes to them on quiet feet"
