• O! To thy tantalizing beauty
    Of which many, will astound
    In which only art thou found.

    Thy elegant form, sleek, and rare
    All of whom lay eyes upon thee gasp for air
    Thy thorned physique warm, yet cruel
    Yet thy brimming blossom, so delicate a jewel.

    And so, as many before I
    And more to come
    Of the many are only some
    Whom, in elegant prose
    acclaim the immortal rose.
