Rose And Leaf
All the roses now are gone, All their glories shed: Here's a rose that grows not wan, Rose of love to wear upon Your fair breast instead. Everywhere sere leaves are seen Golden, red and grey: Here's a leaf for ever green, Leaf of truth to hold between Your white hands alway. Here's my leaf and here's my rose. Take them. They are yours. In my garden nothing grows, Garden of my heart, God knows, That as long endures.
