(A white rose, fitting for a wedding giftj, 
And lay it on thy pillow. Pray to live 
So fair and innocently; pray to die, 
Leaf after leaf, so softly. 
T. L. Beddoes. 
Live all thy sweet life through, 
Sweet rose, dew-sprent, 
Drop down thine evening dew 
To gather it anew 
When day is bright. 
I fancy thou wast meant 
Chiefly to give delight. 
Christina G. Rossetti.
