Do you have any idea who the author is and the name of the poem? thanks > From: David Still > the poem you quote is in a category known as seduction poetry. One of the best is Gather Ye Rosebuds, etc by Andrew Marvell. But about such poetry, Ogden Nash, a near contemporary of ours, said: Roses are fine but liquor is quicker.
