The Mistress of the Roses
Is haply far away,
And through her garden closes
What strange intruders stray.
See on its rustic spindles
The sundrop's amber fire!
And the goldenrod enkindles
The embers on its spire.
The dodder's shining tangle
From the meadow brook steals in,
Where in this shadowed angle
The pale lace-makers spin.
Here's Black-Eyed Susan weeping
Into exotic air,
And Bouncing Bet comes creeping
Back to her old parterre.
Now in this pleasant weather -
So sweetly reconciled -
They dwell and dream together,
The kin of court and wild.

Comments1Hi!
I discovered your book and really loved the world and characters you created. I?m a commission-based artist and poet, creating custom poems and artwork inspired by authors? characters, stories, and themes.
I can create something specifically for your work, whether it?s a character poem, horror, fantasy, romance, mystery, thriller, drama, adventure, sci-fi, historical, comedy, or emotional piece, along with promotional artwork and poetry.
If you?re interested, I?d be happy to send you some examples of my work!
