THE ROSE, by                    
First Line: My lilla gave me yestermorn
Last Line: The lovelier rose that give it too?
Subject(s): Flowers;roses


MY Lilla gave me yestermorn
A rose, methinks in Eden born,
And as she gave it, little elf!
She blush'd like any rose herself.
Then said I, full of tenderness,
"Since this sweet rose I owe to you,
Dear girl, why may I not possess
The lovelier Rose that gave it too?"
