The Rose and The Thorn

The Rose and the Thorn

Such utter perfection in form and colour, such a heavenly fragrance wafts up to my nose, In all of God's most wondrous creations, is there anything more perfect than the rose?

So many colours, shapes and sizes, all blooming in a, mass of green leaves, No more beautiful a sight, as a bush in bloom, or a rambler, spilling over a cottage eaves.

It’s verily a sign of true love, presented to a maiden fair, what can be more befitting and apt, as the rose says more, than the lover can dare.
