LITTLE white rose that I loved, I loved, @3Roisin ban, Roisin ban!@1 Fair my bud as the morning's dawn. I kissed my beautiful flower to bloom, My heart grew glad for its rich perfume— Little white rose that I loved! Little white rose that I loved grew red, @3Roisin rua, Roisin rua!@1 Passionate tears I wept for you. Love is more sweet than the world's fame— I dream you back in my heart the same, Little white rose that I loved! Little white rose that I loved grew black, @3Roisin duv, Roisin duv!@1 So I knew not the heart of you. Lost in the world's alluring fire, I cry in the night for my heart's desire, Little white rose that I loved! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THREE KINGS OF ORIENT by JOHN HENRY HOPKINS JR.
