First Line: There is a lovely rose that never dies
Last Line: The fragrance that has made it mine.
Subject(s): Immortality; Youth
There is a lovely rose that never dies;
This flow'r in youthful beauty grows
Within the garden of my heart nor cries
To be released, so much it knows:
That neither thorns nor weeds can ever break
The sod that keeps it straight and fine,
That nothing lives can ever hope to take
The fragrance that has made it mine.
