ROSE LORE
Now since it knowsMy heart so well,Would that this roseMight speak and tell!
You could not scornIts winsome grace,The blush of mornUpon its face.
Unto your ownYou needs must pressThe sweet mouth proneTo tenderness;
Then, lip to lip,With rapture stirred,You might let slipThe secret word,
descriptionPage 58
With fragrant kissInterpretingThe dream of blissThe rose would bring.
Then to your breastTake it to beYour own heart's bestLove-augury, —A welcome guest, —To gladden me.
