A Rose is a Rose, or is it?
                        What Roses Shall I Send You


                        Perhaps this with melancholy bud
                                  Clipped and doomed to die
                                  Will in your soft embrace
                                  Live and happily expire

                        Or nurtured, bloom with petals white
                                  If more to your desire
                                  Press it to your breast
                                  Raise a blush; ignite a fire

                        To invite the thorn’s bold caress
                                  That hungers to be fed
                                  Prick your hand; taste the blood
                                  To turn it passion red

                        And with feelings so enflamed
                                  The flower’s sorely pressed
                                  Releases fast its essence
                                  Your every sense caressed

                        Yielding now the whole bouquet
                                  With its final breath
                                  Sweet perfume to send
                                  You, even unto death
