as close as possible to each bloom
and then go inside it. Murray Alcosser

And the white rose breathes of love

And the white rose is a dove

that which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet

and the rose s full of dew,
And the dew is full of heavenly love,
love that drips for me and you

Left blooming alone,
All her lovely companions
and faded and gone

Our lives would grow together
In sad or swinging weather

O, my Luve's like a red , red rose,
That's newly sprung in June
O, my Luve's like the melody,
that's sweetly played in tune

Loveliest of lovely things are they
On earth, that soonest pass away
The Rose that lives its little hour
Is prized beyond the sculptured flower.
William Cullen Bryant
