Rose

J. Raynor

Rose, little Rose, the youngest of the Roses,

My little Rose whom I may never see,

When you shall come to where the heart reposes,

Cut me a Rose and send it down to me.

When you shall come into the High Rose-Gardens

Where Roses bend upon Our Lady's Tree,

The place of Plenitudes, the place of Pardons,

Cut me a Rose and send it down to me.
