THE MESSAGE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: So fair the world about me lies
Last Line: I will send unto her the rose.
Subject(s): Flowers; Gifts & Giving; Love; Roses


SO FAIR the world about me lies,
So pure is heaven above,
Ere so much beauty dies
I would give a gift to my love;
Now, ere the long day close,
That has been so full of bliss,
I will send to my love the rose,
In its leaves I will shut a kiss;
A rose in the night to perish,
A kiss through life to cherish;
Now, ere the night-wind blows,
I will send unto her the rose.
