A Rose's Scent

They say that a nose knows -- But what does it know? It knows a rose's scent, and many other a flower It knows the sweet breath of an early Spring shower It knows where there's fire or mortal danger It knows who's familiar and who is a stranger It knows the forest trail and the mountain's peak a fertile valley, buried treasure, the flow of a creek It knows when a lover is brimming with desire the warmth of the sun, and something much higher
