Explore "Roses and Rue" by Leigh Gordon Giltner on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Ah, silver and gold of the glad June morning-- / Gold of the sunshine and silver of dew, / Dew drop gems all the meads adorning-- / Are love and the rose-time a theme for scorning? / Roses, roses,--dream not of rue! / Am I not loved by you?
Antiphonal to sweet sylvan singers, / The brook with its maddening, gladdening rune! / And my lover's kiss still thrills and lingers, / Lingers and burns on my tremulous fingers! / Ah, birds in a very riot of tune / Pour out my joy to the heart of June!
