Description"Dear Rosa" - death poem found inside American daguerreotype case (8222125734).jpg |
This short poem, written I think in pencil on a card measuring just 8cm x 4.5cm, was found in the case behind the image, along with the pressed rose (Latin = Rosa) and lock of hair. I'll transcribe it below. Clearly Rosa has died. Is it Rosa depicted in the image? What is the relationship of the writer to Rosa? It almost feels to me like something a grieving husband might write rather than a parent, but I'd love your thoughts. Dear Rosa That thou art loved, these buds my witness be. In the bright morning - noon - or starry night One thought my bosom fills - it is of thee And thou dost make all hours and seasons bright. To see thee - hear thee - know that though art nigh, Oh! this is joy unknown to me before! All other thoughts are gone when though art by Thou fill'st my heart - it can contain no more There was also another card, and another even more amazing poem, which I'll upload next ... |
