Sweetheart, come see if the rose Which at morning

Sweetheart, come see if the rose Which at morning began to unclose Its damask gown to the sun Has not lost, now the day is done, The folds of its damasked gown And its colors so like your own.

Pierre de Ronsard

1524-09-11 — 1585-12-27 · La Possonnière Castle

Pierre de Ronsard was a French Renaissance poet, considered one of the greatest lyricists in the French language. His work is marked by profound classical erudition, the exploration of themes such as love, the passage of time, and ephemeral beauty, and a formal rigor that established him as a master of poetry. He is a central figure of the Pléiade, a group of poets who sought to elevate the French language to a literary level comparable to Latin and Greek, through the imitation and adaptation of classical and Italian models.
