The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebudWith a flush on its petal tips;
But I send you a cream-white rosebudWith a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetestHas a kiss of desire on the lips.
~ John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890)
