Short Poems regarding The Rose

That’s newly sprung in June
Oh, my luve’s like the melodie
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.

Old Time is still aflying,
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying.

When Death claims the light of my brow
No flowers of life will cheer me: instead
You may give me my roses now!

Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone.

Which unveiled the depth of her glowing breast,
Till, fold after fold, to the fainting air,
The soul of her beauty and love lay bare.

Out of a misty dream,
Our path emerges for a while, then closes,
Within a dream.
