Sentimental Lines For Rose
O, fair heavenly Rose! How I sigh,
and sigh all the more! to smell your scent
and fresh bouquet, before I soon die
from a bleak, although unrepentant,
death! To never unite is unmeant,
to embrace is inspired work of art:
O, sweet Rose! Space and time both torment
me; they so constrain to bid us part,
and forbid our union as twin hearts,
two souls tangled in love till the end
of eternity—till all depart,
stars, the sky, and this earth; and transcend.
Though life's poverty, woes, will not bend,
my despair in this realm will expire,
once I kiss your dear face, my godsend;
and greet you in my opaline spire!
