Rose on old paper

Angela Maria Russo - Rose - watercolour on old paper

Nobody knows this little Rose

Nobody knows this little Rose -
It might a pilgrim be
Did I not take it from the ways
And lift it up to thee.
Only a Bee will miss it -
Only a Butterfly,
Hastening from far journey
- On it's breast to lie -
Only a Bird will wonder -
Only a Breeze will sigh -
Ah Little Rose - how easy
For such as thee to die.
  (Emily Dickinson - 1858, Poems)
