A Rose is a Rose, or is it? |
| What Roses Shall I Send You Perhaps this with melancholy bud Clipped and doomed to die Will in your soft embrace Live and happily expire Or nurtured, bloom with petals white If more to your desire Press it to your breast Raise a blush; ignite a fire To invite the thorn’s bold caress That hungers to be fed Prick your hand; taste the blood To turn it passion red And with feelings so enflamed The flower’s sorely pressed Releases fast its essence Your every sense caressed Yielding now the whole bouquet With its final breath Sweet perfume to send You, even unto death |
