Rose has a life, they say; Life that lives in day Through night's darknesses. Rose has a message to say To you, to her, to they That pray for her graces. Rose has love to give away; She gives it to the gay And those that kiss her thorny tresses. Rose is red, they say; She blushes in dark and day For lovers, unashamed, greet with kisses. Rose has a heart, they say, A heart that beats in May, And when receiving Autumn's caresses. Rose's soul, they say, Is whiter than sun's day That dispels life's dimnesses. Rose is love's beauteous bay, Lives ever, night or day; Her smiles and blushes are our soul's mistresses. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE BEING AS MOMENT by HAYDEN CARRUTH TWILIGHT COMES by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
