RED AND WHITE ROSES
Read in these roses the sad story
Of my hard fate and your own glory.
IN the white you may discover
The palenes of a fainting lover,
In the read the flamser still feeding
OH my heart, with fresh woundes bleeding
The white will tell you how I languish,
And the read express my anguish
The white my innocence dsiplaying
the read my martyrdom betraying
The frowns that you your brow resided
Have those roses thus divided
OH let your smiles but clrear the weather
And then they both shall grow together.
