T HIS lovely rose I send ROUNDF.L. 



Saved from December s snows 

 Will not thy heart befriend 



This lovely rose? 



Its leaves sweet thoughts inclose, 

 Which richer fragrance lend 

 Than were it a mere rose. 



Its sweet-breathed tale, dear friend, 



Must my fond heart disclose. 

 Canst thou not comprehend 

 This lovely rose ?
