The Rose in the garden slipped her bud | B |
And she laughed in the pride of her youthful blood | B |
As she thought of the Gardener standing by | C |
He is old so old And he soon must die | C |
- | |
The full Rose waxed in the warm June air | A |
And she spread and spread till her heart lay bare | A |
And she laughed once more as she heard his tread | D |
He is older now He will soon be dead | D |
- | |
But the breeze of the morning blew and found | E |
That the leaves of the blown Rose strewed the ground | E |
And he came at noon that Gardener old | F |
And he raked them gently under the mould | F |
- | |
And I wove the thing to a random rhyme | G |
For the Rose is Beauty the Gardener Time | G |
