The Blush Noisette Rose
The Blush Noisette Rose states it's plea
to it's new gardener;
begging to be pruned from top to bottom.
Weather-beaten and looking worse for wear,
some petals have fallen off,
some have withered on the vine
and lost their bright colors.
It pleads to the gardener
to snip off all dead stems with his silver shears,
to pluck away leaves that have wilted.
"Water me each morning, so I'll stay as young as spring!"
it pleads
"Make me the wondrous sight I used to be in the eyes
of those in love, and those in search of it;
even in the eyes of lonely people, too,"
adds The Blush Noisette Rose.
