Analysis of To Rosa ----: Acrostic
Henry Timrod 1828 (Charleston) – 1867 (Columbia)
I took a Rosebud from a certain bower,
And by its side placed an Orange flower,
Then with the Speedwell, blended the perfume
And the sweet beauty of an Apple-bloom,
And thus, 't is one of the loveliest feats,
Is spelled a gentle lady's name in sweets.
