Last rose of the year
blooming still from straining stalk —
defies winter’s breath

'Tis the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone:
No flower of her kindred,
No rose-bud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.
~ The Last Rose of Summer by Thomas Moore
