In the center of the rose's bloom,
There you rest in safety's comfort
Absorbing nature's sweet perfume.
..And you smile in flowered splendor
..As your beauty soft and tender
Leads the viewer to consume..so deeply
..the very heart of you.
So gracefully the petals spread
Until all see your tilting head,
And gaze upon translucent wings
That flutter as the Bluebird sings..
..And you smile in flowered splendor
..As your beauty soft and tender,
Leads the viewer to inhale..so deeply
..the fragrant essence of you.
