The Rosebud

Oh, darling one, please give to me

A rosebud, sweet and fair to see.

A lovely rose of creamy-white,

Oft kissed by shining rays of light,

And oft refreshed by gentle dew

And summer rain.

Oh, give me, dear, one that thou hast watched with tender care.

For I know, its loveliness would rarer grow

Beneath the gleamings of thine eyes, bright as the blue of sapphire skies.

 

-- Aurora Vane (1883) --
