The Rose of Belgium

My heart yearns to rise early
to have you in company;
Your dazzling native beauty 
attracts the crowd at Tiffany.

Even the birds of Rome 
come on their way to roam,
for, your smile is like a home;
A cozy shelter against the storm. 

Shining hair of ebony,
cheeks that bury deeply, 
voice that sings a rhapsody,
brings to life a fantasy.

Rose that is pure divine 
when you are near, I feel so fine; 
Let the morning sunshine 
tell the rore to shine.

Moon river I shall venture 
on the fair sands of your shore;
May the lash of your nature 
rope the heart that I adore.
