#OTD Rosanna Eleanor #Leprohon, #Canadian #Writer & #Poet, is born.
Here's an excerpt from her #Poem, #Flowers & #Stars:
What does each #Blossom say?
Thou'rt lovelier... than they?
Not so - not so, but they #Whisper low
That quickly fades their #Bloom
Soon they [lie withered] on the sod,
Ravished of all #Perfume.
Too sad thy thoughts! Look up at the stars,
That gleam in #Sapphire skies
No clearer their radiance, best beloved,
Than the light of thine own dark eyes!
