Question ^^





"The Rhodora"


On being asked, whence is the flower.





In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes,


I found the fresh Rhodora in the woods,


Spreading its leafless blooms in a damp nook,


To please the desert and the sluggish brook.


The purple petals fallen in the pool


Made the black water with their beauty gay;


Here might the red-bird come his plumes to cool,


And court the flower that cheapens his array.


Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why


This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,


Tell them, dear, that, if eyes were made for seeing,


Then beauty is its own excuse for Being;


Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!


I never thought to ask; I never knew;


But in my simple ignorance suppose


The self-same power that brought me there, brought you.





K well anyways, poems from back in the day i just can't stand, cause I have no clue what there saying. Its so confusing and i wanna know if you can help me out with this question i have? By the way if you dont know than dont answer.
