“SATIN ROSES CLEAN AND NEW” 
LOUISE DRISCOLL 
I know a wall where 
The rose wave breaks 
And fine bloom scatters 
Like foam and makes 
High holiday as 
The bees come by 
And the blue winged moth 
And the dragonfly. 
1 know a garden 
Sheltered, green, 
Where all the joys of 
The year are seen, 
From frail crocus 
As seasons go 
To the last herb 
That greets the snow. 
But I love it best 
With morning dew 
On satin roses 
Clean and new.
