You Are My Rose

Some people say
	almost every day,

	That love is a treat,
	but thou art a cheat;

	You love me not
	they swear with God.

	One even pinched his nose
	but still, I say thou art my rose;

	But if thou prove’st me wrong,
	after I wrote in my summer song

	That thou art the only one
	who doth bring me joy and fun

	And attest to me thou wert satire,
	sorrowfully from love I will retire.
