Yellow Rose


The yellow rose of summer past. (Click picture for larger view) Posted by Picasa
"'Twas a yellow rose,
By that south window of the little house,
My cousin Romney gathered with his hand
On all my birthdays, for me. save the last;
And then I shook the tree too rough, too rough,
For roses to stay after.
~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh (bk. VI)
The roses are now gone, only the pansy and marigold provide the splash of sun in our garden until summer comes again.
