John Boyle O'Reilly

A White Rose

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
