The first rose on my rose-tree Budded, bloomed, and shattered, During sad days when to me Nothing mattered. Grief of grief has drained me clean; Still it seems a pity No one saw, –it must have been Very pretty.

About This Quote

During periods of sorrow or depression, it is important to remember that it is okay to be sad. It doesn’t mean you are a bad person or that no one loves you. Depression comes from the loss of something or someone that matters to you. It can happen at any time, but usually happens when you are in a particularly difficult time in your life.

The rose is a metaphor for someone who is beautiful, so being sad means being empty without someone to love you. This is the first rose on your rose tree, because this is the beginning of your recovery.
