That rose is telling of the secrets of the Universal.

I long to see your face.
In the taste of Sweetness
I long to kiss your lips.
In the shadows of passion
I long for your love.

when every touch of beauty opens the heart to tears.

And opens
And when it falls
Falls outward.

the Jewel of my real wealth!

whose perfumes drown me in my heart.

With thee a prison would be a rose-garden.
With thee hell would be a mansion of delight,
Without thee lilies and roses would be as flames of fire!

Do thou smile like the rose at loss and gain;
For the rose, though its petals be torn asunder,
Still smiles on, and it is never cast down.
