Explore "The Rose and the Bee" by Sara Teasdale on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
If I were a bee and you were a rose, / Would you let me in when the gray wind blows? / Would you hold your petals wide apart, / Would you let me in to find your heart, / If you were a rose?
"If I were a rose and you were a bee, / You should never go when you came to me, / I should hold my love on my heart at last, / I should close my leaves and keep you fast, / If you were a bee. "
