Eileen R. Kelly Poet Lyric

An Irish Rose...

I will not gather roses...
For I have need of only one...

one white Irish rose...
dancing in the sun...

...this sole rose embodies
one raindrop -
...a tear from heaven sent...

...within this signifies...
friendship with love...
this Irish rose can depend...

...a one of a kind...
this rose sole resemblance
drawn unto me...

...this spirit nurtured...
in her perfume truly refined...
pure luxury...

I lay down in this field...
It is here my soul rests...

in the field of the one true rose
...in the field of benevolence...

...so clear is this vision...
...without doubt...
this one Irish rose given...

...this one true love fulfilled...
Everything within me...
...pure as the snow driven...

...for it is not the colour
red I seek...

...she carries this ardently
for me I see...
