The Rose

W. B. Yeats · 1892

The lyrics first appeared in The Countess Kathleen and Various Legends and Lyrics (T. Fisher Unwin, 1892), which is not on Archive as the London first. The 1895 Unwin Poems is the first book that names the group The Rose; the year 1892 is the 1922 Unwin copyright page's own statement of that first printing. Several poems the gathering places in this section were rewritten after 1895 and did not match this witness.
