Rose of White

Slowly dancing in the wind, swaying as to music
Rocking like a ship at sea to the whims of air and water
     Her face shone bright with the tears of heaven

By consorts of every shape and hue, this elegant lady stood 
White on white, her gown shown among those dressed in like manner
     Looking upward, she opened to the rising sun

                                                                          ~Christopher Thor Britt

Thank you Anne-Lise. Norwegians are some of my favorite people. I used to live in North Dakota, USA where there is a tremendous Norwegian influence. I enjoy Lefse, but not so much the Ludefisk.
