The sweetest flower that blows <br />I give you as we part; <br />For you it is a rose; <br />For me it is my heart. <br /> <br />The fragrance it exhales <br />(Ah, if you only knew!) <br />Which but in undying fails, <br />It is my love of you. <br /> <br />The sweetest flower that grows <br />I give you as we part; <br />You think it but a rose; <br />Ah, me! it is my heart.<br /><br />Frederick Peterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sweetest-flower-that-blows/
