The Grave said to the Rose, <br />"What of the dews of dawn, <br />Love's flower, what end is theirs?" <br />"And what of spirits flown, <br />The souls whereon doth close <br />The tomb's mouth unawares?" <br />The Rose said to the Grave. <br /> <br />The Rose said, "In the shade <br />From the dawn's tears is made <br />A perfume faint and strange, <br />Amber and honey sweet." <br />"And all the spirits fleet <br />Do suffer a sky-change, <br />More strangely than the dew, <br />To God's own angels new," <br />The Grave said to the Rose.<br /><br />Victor Marie Hugo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-grave-and-the-rose/
