英语词汇last rose of summer的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

last rose of summer. Although he measured six-foot-six and 260 pounds, my grandfather was something of a courtly ro- mantic and always rather grandly presented my grandmother with the last rose of the season, calling it “the last rose of sum- mer.” This may have been a widespread custom at the time and centuries ago, for the phrase the last rose of summer can be traced back to Irish poet and songwriter Thomas Moore’s Irish Melodies (1807), where it begins a short song: “Tis the last rose of summer / Left blooming alone; / All her lovely companions / Are faded and gone.” These words also give us the term last rose for the final flowering of anything, but anything written on the rose has to end on a romantic note, and no one ever sounded more romantic than British playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816), who once said to a beautiful young woman, “Won’t you come into my garden? I would like my roses to see you.” See rose.
