The red rose loveliest of
all,
Stands so proud, and tall.
To a vine she never clings,
Being blessed with everything.
Starts to bud, and unfold,
Her haunting beauty never
told.
Very gracious standing there,
None other can compare.
She can steal your heart away,
Toss it to the wind someday.
Touch her softly, fulfill her
need,
She can prick a heart, and
make it bleed.
