Deep in a rose's glowing heart

Deep in a rose's glowing heart,
I dropped a single kiss;
And then I bade it quick depart,
And tell my lady this:

"The love thy lover tries to send,
"O'erflows my fragrant bowl;
"But my soft leaves would break and bend,
"Should he send half the whole,
"Should he send half the whole."

by Margaret Wade Campbell Deland (1857-1945)
