A GARDEN ROSE, by                    
First Line: The whole world knows / that a garden rose

Subject(s): Beauty


The whole world knows
That a garden rose
Is the sweetest flower that grows.

At break of dawn,
I greet the jeweled queen anon,
And all my doubts are gone.

All through the day
I hear its fragrant petals say,
"No shadow comes my way."

Again at night,
Its beauty stays the failing light;
My weariness takes flight.

God surely knows
That a garden rose
Is the loveliest thing that grows.
