I. Disappointment in Love

The Shadow Rose

Robert Cameron Rogers (1862–1912)

A NOISETTE on my garden path

An ever-swaying shadow throws;

But if I pluck it strolling by,

I pluck the shadow with the rose.

Just near enough my heart you stood

To shadow it,—but was it fair

In him, who plucked and bore you off,

To leave your shadow lingering there?
