Here you will find the Poem Superstites Rosae of poet Richard Rowe

Superstites Rosae

The grass is green upon her grave, 
   The west wind whispers low; 
"The corn is changed, come forth, come forth, 
   Ere all the blossoms go!" 

In vain. Her laughing eyes are sealed, 
   And cold her sunny brow; 
Last year she smiled upon the flowers -- 
   They smile above her now!
