a song.
Take this white rose, love,
Stainless as thou,
Let it repose, love,
By thy fair brow!
Stainless as thou,
Let it repose, love,
By thy fair brow!
And as its fragrance
Softly steals by,
Sweet as thy balmy breath,
Pure as thy sigh,
Softly steals by,
Sweet as thy balmy breath,
Pure as thy sigh,
Think of the lover,
In whose food sight,
No gem of Ophir
Makes thee more bright!
In whose food sight,
No gem of Ophir
Makes thee more bright!
