Chain of Roses
The Highest Rose
A White Rose
THE red rose whispers of passion,
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
To ----, With A Rose
I asked my heart to say
Then said my heart to me:
This gift that learning shows;
To The Rose: Song
Go, happy Rose, and interwove
Say, if she's fretful, I have bands
Take thou my blessing thus, and go
A White Rose
THE red rose whispers of passion,
But I send you a cream-white rosebud

And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips
by Sidney Lanier
Some word whose worth my love's devoir might pay
Upon my Lady's natal day.
`Learn from the rhyme that now shall come to thee
What fits thy Love most lovingly.'
For, as a rhyme unto its rhyme-twin goes,
I send a rose unto a Rose.
by Robert Herrick
With other flowers, bind my Love.
Tell her, too, she must not be
Longer flowing, longer free,
That so oft has fetter'd me.
Of pearl and gold, to bind her hands;
Tell her, if she struggle still,
I have myrtle rods at will,
For to tame, though not to kill.
And tell her this,--but do not so!--
Lest a handsome anger fly
Like a lightning from her eye,
And burn thee up, as well as I!
