O rose of June! In humble guise
You meet the idle stroller's eyes
By pathways sweet with summer's balm
Of fragrant and florescent calm,
Pink-tipped and placid moorland prize!

At dewy dawn's first blush you rise
To greet the day's sweet enterprise
With perfume sacred as a psalm,
O rose of June!

Had I the wisdom of the wise,
Dear rose, I would immortalize
You, coral blossom in my palm,
With song to soothe away the qualm
Of toil—with roseate melodies,
O rose of June!
