Subject(s): Beauty; Courts & Courtiers; Flowers; Love; Roses
And she hath placed a red rose in her hair—
O not more balmy than her fragrant tresses!—
And roses three from her bright girdle peer,
Of that dark tint that Love's true heart confesses!
And she is all a rose, as sweet and fair
As any that June's gentle sun caresses!
O cruel Love! to pluck from such a stem
The freshest, fairest flower the dews begem.
