Christina Georgina Rossetti

Roses Blushing Red and White

Roses blushing red and white,
For delight;
Honeysuckle wreaths above,
For love;
Dim sweet—scented heliotrope,
For hope;
Shining lilies tall and straight,
For royal state;
Dusky pansies, let them be
For memory;
With violets of fragrant breath,
For death.
