Roses I Give to You

(Sung text for setting by L. Farnell)

Language: English

Choose for Diff

Beautiful messengers, fragrant and fair,
Greeting the morning all guiltless of care,
Ready to grace your dark tresses of hair:
Such I commend to you.

Roses I send to you:
Blushingly conscious,
each bud how demure!
Sad that their beauties so briefly endure!
Yet ere they fade may they carry secure,
All I intend to you.

Composition:

Laura Farnell
