by Carter Stanard Cole (1862 - 1949)
Marguerite
Language: English
Have you seen a rose half blown When the dew has kissed its face, Growing silently alone Still unconscious of its grace. When the sun has shed its light Giving fuller life and bloom? Then you see a wondrous sight Added to the rare perfume. Such a budding, blushing maid, Natural and fair and sweet, Happy, singing, unafraid, You can see in Marguerite.
