THE ROSE AND THE NIGHTINGALE
And the rose broke the nightingale's heart, saying:
"You sing because you can do naught but singing"
And the love the bird had professed for the flower
Was returned with a spurn and a disdainful mocking.
This short poem contains much sadness, but is beautiful, too, in a way. It says it all in its brevity.
