I didn't ask where it came from. And I did read the poem. "Friends fade" and what not. The point was had we decided the poem lends itself to Summer's potential personality profile or character history. It's difficult to draw conclusions from merely reading the poem.

"Tis the last rose of summer, (Summer was the last of her family line? Or) Left blooming alone; (Circumstances forced her to mission alone?) All her lovely companions Are faded and gone; (Pretty much the same as above, unless it implies she will return to find her friends are not friends anymore) No flower of her kindred, No rosebud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes, Or give sigh for sigh. (All of that would seem to imply her thoughts prior to having Ruby with Taiyang)

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one! To pine on the stem; Since the lovely are sleeping, Go, sleep thou with them. Thus kindly I scatter, Thy leaves o'er the bed, Where thy mates of the garden Lie scentless and dead.

So soon may I follow, When friendships decay, And from Love's shining circle The gems drop away. When true hearts lie withered, And fond ones are flown, Oh! who would inhabit This bleak world alone?

Too lazy to work out the rest.
