A ROSE by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY

First Line: THY PURFLED PETALS ARE LIKE ANGELS' LIPS
Last Line: AND THOU A PLEDGE WHENCE ALL PERFECTIONS ARE.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; GARDENS & GARDENING; ROSES;
THY purfled petals are like angels' lips,
Thy heart's a fragment of some lonely star,
Thy fragrance is the essential sweet of hope,
And thou a pledge whence all perfections are.
