Last Rose Of Summer

Antique floral greetings post card
Circa 1914
Postmark Cambridge MA

'Tis the last rose of summer left blooming alone. All her lovely companions are faded and gone. No flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nigh. To reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sigh. I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to pine on the stem. Since the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them.

 — Thomas Moore, The Last Rose of Summer

Most collectors would pass over this old weathered post card,
but I actually prefer to have them used, because it gives them character and a story to tell.
