The Rose of Carmel
Istiqlál (Independence), 3 ‘Ilm (knowledge) 176 B.E. - Friday, October 18, 2019

The Rose of Carmel

Atop the mountain blooms
the white Rose of Carmel
reflecting to humanity
the light of unity.

The seed of this rose was planted
by The Bab
in the soil of the Bayan1
and water with His blood;
Baha'u'llah transplanted the rose
into the Garden of the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas2.

All the colors are equal,
their intensity the same
thus revealing the oneness
of the names of God,
the foundation of religion,
and of humanity.

Half way down the mountain
the Queen of Carmel stands
inviting the human race
to experience the
perfume of unity
and sip the rose water
of immortality.
