Sidney Lanier

To——, With a Rose

I asked my heart to say
Some word whose worth my love’s devoir might pay
     Upon my Lady’s natal day.
 
     Then said my heart to me:
‘Learn from the rhyme that now shall come to thee
     What fits thy Love most lovingly.’
 
     This gift that learning shows;
For, as a rhyme unto its rhyme-twin goes,
     I send a rose unto a Rose.
