Deep in a rose's glowing heart
Language: English
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."
