THE CRYSTAL ROSE:

You are a rose, of deep blood red,

You are a rose, of peach petal head,

You are a rose, of lilac summer Junes,

You are a rose, of satin pink perfumes,

You are a rose, of suns, yellow & gold,

You are a rose, of petals in fuchsia bold,

You are a rose, of delicate dusks & dawns,

You are a rose, of moons producing yawns,

Yet in icy winter cold, no matter your hues,

You are crystal rose, garbed in frosted dews.
