Blushing Rose Abb

When the rose scents the garden
 Birdsongs float on high
 And  summer breeze caresses with a sigh

 When buttercups are all aglow
 And the sun is shining bright
 Butterflies  do an aerial dance of delight

 When forget-me-nots are blooming
 A spark turns into a flame
 As the wind whispers your name

When chrysanthemums appear
The shadow of autumn is cast
And the rose will blush its last
