The
red rose whispers of passion,
And
the white rose breathes of love;
O
the red rose is a falcon,
And
the white rose is a dove.
But
I send you a cream-white rosebud
With
a flush on its petal tips;
For
the love that is purest and sweetest
Has
a kiss of desire on the lips.
Vocabulary:
falcon: a bird that kills and eats other animals and can be trained to hunt.
