The Last Rose of Summer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFow76r-_fE Its the last rose of summer here blooming alone with all her companions now faded and done no flower of her kind is left behind to grow no reflection of her blush or her afterglow soon I too will follow her through every ray before loves bow and arrow begins to fray when true hearts lay withered and once flown who would want to inhabit this world alone? No not I says the rose no not I says the Sun who is captured by the colors of her bursting scent he who has lived in her loving grace as One , says yes to the last rose of summer , "life must go on" even the Sun sets when the last days of life are gone. Written by: Mystic Rose 6/28/2019 Inspired by the original poem "The Last Rose Of Summer" written by : Thomas Moore. in 1805

This blooms with the promise of summer, and slumbers with the curtain of fall, a charmer indeed-
