Rose

I know where the deep blue violets bloom

Down the dewy glade and grassy dell,

And where pink roses waft perfume,

On the summer breeze I know full well.

*

And I know where a rarer blossom blooms,

A Rose, more fair than fairest flowers,

Her breath more sweet than floral fumes___

Her face more fair than floral bowers.
