Good Morning Rose

Rose,
The morn is bright
and fair,
and so art thou.
Good Lord! when shall
my envy cease,
for he that loveth thee?
My convincing love words
will never be exhausted
until your highly sought
after hand in marriage I have won.
Contenders from the east, west, north
and south of France
line up by day just for your
consent to seek.
But just as dauntless, relentless
and resilient in battle I have been,
so will I be in my struggle
with these contenders
for your heart's epicentre.
