Subject(s): Flowers; Roses


I WISH they could live forever, --
These roses my darling brought!
Their breath from her lips they caught,
And still with her touch they quiver.

As bright as their bright sweet giver,
With a charm like her own charm fraught,
I wish they could live forever, --
These roses my darling brought!

But loving from loved must sever,
And hoping must come to nought --
I know what the years have taught;
Yet I wish they could live forever, --
These roses my darling brought.
