A Rose Tree
Fleur Adcock

When we went to live at Top Lodge1
 my mother gave me a rose tree.

She didn't have to pay for it—
 it was growing there already,

tall and old, by the gravel（碎石） drive
 where we used to ride our scooters（踏板车） .

No one else was allowed to pick
 the huge pale blooms that smelt2 like jam.

It was mine all through that summer.
 In October we moved again.

But even never seeing it
 couldn't stop it from being mine:

one of those eternal presents.
 At the new house I had a duck.
