Analysis of Different Lines
Richard J Edwards 1960 (Ft Belvoir)
Drowning by beauty said the rain to the rose.
Fellings Get hurt between the smell of hickory and the sight of the toad.
Why do tears of sadness remove the smile off someone elses face.
Lady wrapped to the fullest with splender and lace.
Her thinking of this ruined her grace.
Graveled with angre was heard from the one legged man.
Move out of my way or as I you'll be damned.
No one ever loved him and present company can see why for
he only sees evil with his one and only eye.
