The rose is a rose, <br />And was always a rose. <br />But now the theory goes <br />That the apple's a rose, <br />And the pear is, and so's <br />The plum, I suppose. <br />The dear only knows <br />What will next prove a rose. <br />You, of course, are a rose-- <br />But were always a rose.<br /><br />Robert Lee Frost<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rose-family-2/
