Alternate Author Name(s): Woods, Mrs. Margaret Louisa Bradley
Subject(s): Flowers; Gardens & Gardening; Love; Roses


Say not I never told my love for thee.
There's not a rose, a rose in all the garden,
But I have whispered to its leaves—"I love thee."

Say not I never spoke my love for thee.
There's not a wind, a wind of morn or even,
Wherever out of heaven it blows and goes,
Clamouring of day or sighing for the moon,
But I have vaunted to that wind—"I love thee."

Then did the roses tell thee and the wind.
So must it be, else hadst thou never known
My love for thee, my sweet and infinite love.
