Poems of Sentiment

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.
