| the Rose of SharonI read these lines most days because they are taped to my bedroom mirror... I am the Rose of Sharon As the lily among the thorns, So is my love among the daughters As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons ... just below it on the same sheet, i have written four more lines from the Song of Solomon ... My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one. For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. ... in different ways and for different reasons i love all these words. |
