"O, Gather Me the Rose"

O, gather me the rose, the rose,

While yet in flower we find it,

For summer smiles, but summer goes,

And winter waits behind it.

For with the dream foregone, foregone,

The deed foreborn forever,

The worm Regret will canker on,

And time will turn him never.

So were it well to love, my love,

And cheat of any laughter

The fate beneath us, and above,

The dark before and after.

The myrtle and the rose, the rose,

The sunshine and the swallow,

The dream that comes, the wish that goes

The memories that follow!

Willian Ernest Henley (1849 - 1903)

In the hope you've enjoyed this stroll amongst ancient and English roses which, with their scents, colors and shades, have blessed our home last June, 

I'm  leaving you with my biggest hug, 

Dearest Friends and Readers!

See you soon ❤

Dany

Oh, Raccoglimi la Rosa

IMMAGINE DI FRONTESPIZIO: 

Little White Pet, Floribunda Rose,1897, Peter Henderson (USA)

Oh, raccoglimi la rosa, la rosa,

Mentre ancora in fiore la troviamo,

Perché l'estate sorride, ma l'estate va,

E l'inverno è dietro di lei che aspetta.

IMMAGINI 2-3-4-5-6: 

Geoff Hamilton, English Rose, 1997, David Austin (ENGLAND)

Perché con il sogno non realizzato, non compiuto,

E l'azione persa per sempre,

Il seme del rimpianto continuerà a deteriorarlo,

E il tempo non lo trasformerà mai più.

IMMAGINI 7-8-9-10-11:

 Alba Plena, Banksiae Rose, 1807, William Kerr (ENGLAND)

Sarebbe così bello amarti, amore mio, 

E ingannare ad ogni risata

Il destino al di sotto di noi, e sopra,

Il buio prima e dopo.

IMMAGINI 12-13-14-15-16-17-18: 

Sweet Juliet, English Rose, David Austin, 1989 (ENGLAND) e Hybrid Tea Rose, Étoile de Holland, 1879, Antoni Verschuren (NETHERLANDS)

Il mirto e la rosa, la rosa,

Il sole e la rondine,

Il sogno che viene, la speranza che se ne va

I ricordi che seguono!

Willian Ernest Henley (1849 - 1903)

IMMAGINI 19-20-21-22-23:

Marie-Jeanne, Polyantha Rose, 1913, Eugène Turbat & Compagnie (FRANCE)

Nella speranza che vi sia stata gradita questa passeggiata tra rose antiche ed inglesi che, con il loro profumo, i loro colori e le loro sfumature, 

hanno avvolto la nostra casa, lo scorso giugno, 

Vi lascio con il mio più grande abbraccio

Carissimi Lettori ed Amici!

A presto ❤

Dany
