  • Text: Roses that briefly live, / Joy is your dower: / Blest be the Fates that give / One perfect hour / And, though too soon you die, / In your dust glows / Something the passer-by / Knows was a rose. / Mrs. Moulton. / A flower was offered to me, / Such a flower as May never bore; / But I said 'I've a pretty Rose-tree', / And I passèd the sweet flower o' er. / Then I went to my pretty Rose-tree / In the silence of the night; / But my Rose was turnèd from me, / And her thorns were my only delight. / Blake (1st Version)
