“Voluptuous bloom and fragrance rare The summer to its rose may bring; Far sweeter to the wooing air The hidden violet of spring. Still, still that lovely ghost appears, Too fair, too pure, to bid depart; No riper love of later years Can steal its beauty from the heart.” LoveYearsHeartMayStillsAirPureSummerSpringFairsRoseLovelyStealingGhostVioletFragranceHeart LoveWooingVoluptuous Book:The Poems Source: The Poems
