Red roses and red noses
Language: English
Some people praise red roses: But I beg leave to say That I prefer red noses - I think they are so gay. À Kempis says we must not cling To things that pass away! Red Noses last a lifetime - Red Roses but a day. Red roses blow but thrice a year - In June, July or May: But owners of Red Noses Can blow them every day.
