O Candle-Rose of rosy hue! <br />- A gift from sweet a heart; <br />On Christmas Day to me anew, <br />Aflame, how do I start? <br /> <br />For, if when lit, your love will glow <br />And burn my very heart; <br />And melt the wax forever, Oh! <br />The Rose could then depart. <br /> <br />O Candle-Rose of beauty great <br />- A piece of lovely art; <br />Tho’ burn you must, some day by fate: <br />How can I do that part? <br /> <br />O Candle- Rose of priceless rate, <br />Oh, be my living art; <br />Just like you were to me till date, <br />Remain my dear sweetheart. <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 1-24-2005<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-candle-rose/
