Cupped in greenery, br ......................... it stands tall as 'itself'. br Bud-tight, becoming unfurled br ................................. with blushy show, br Bright rose, strongly fragile, br .............................. returns my melting br Sighs with quiet pride of face, br ........................................ so knowingly. br br Sweet silence colours it br ......................... and rich tones vibrate, br The rose holds a beauty br .............from friendship's warm hand. br Dignified more by it's image, br ............................................ now fated br To bloom here for me br .............................. as in faraway land. br br Impassioned, compelling, br ................................ incarnadine rose, br How deep your secret br ...................... only providence knows.
