A White Rose
- John Boyle O’Reilly

THE red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

OXOX!XOXOX!XOXOX!X!XOXOX!XOXOX!XOXO

from: The Oxford Book of English Verse: 1250–1900.
