A ROSE is a rose all times of the year.
I have one out in my garden there,
In the deep grass out by the gray old stair --
A breath of June in December drear.
Ah, but its red is a little sere,
And nipped by the frost in last night's air!
A rose is a rose all times of the year.
I have one out in my garden there.
So, when Love comes, he is counted dear,
With his reed at his lips, in June-tide fair,
A-piping sweet, or with wind-blown hair,
And tears in his eyes in December drear.
A rose is a rose all times of the year.
