lyrics

Darling, come see
the rose so red,
Which this morn
timidly had spread
Her mantle to
the eye of day.
Come see if she has
lost this e'en
Her crimson pleated
robe's soft sheen,
That same blush
which on your
cheek plays.


See how in but
a paltry hour
She has let fall
her ailing flower.
Her beauty lies
there in the dust!
Alas! How cruel
is Mother Nature,
Since such a blossom
can endure
Only from trembling
dawn to dusk.


Darling you must
indeed believe,
Whilst innocence
within you cleaves
The bud and blooms
in purity,
Garner the gifts
of tender youth,
For, like this flower,
age in sooth
Will sadly spoil
and tarnish beauty.

[poem by S N Solomons after Ronsard's poem "Mignonne allons voir si la rose"]
