Dooryard Roses

by Sara Teasdale

Sara Teasdale

I have come the selfsame path
To the selfsame door,
Years have left the roses there
Burning as before
While I watch them in the wind
Quick the hot tears start-
Strange so frail a flame outlasts
Fire in the heart.

    The Tour
    by Sylvia Plath
    O maiden aunt, you have come to call. Do step into the hall! With your bold Gecko, the little flick! All cogs, weird sparkle and every cog solid gold.
