Happy Rose Day

Dipping the nib of the fountain pen

Into a pot of red ink

Wrote I a love-letter

And hid it in a book.

I love you.

I love you, my sweetheart.

Here lies the rose,

A red rose for you

And a love-letter.

A dewy, red rose,

A red rose for you,

For you, my darling

With promises to make and to keep.
