I knew you once, in the Garden Green- <br />Your veil, so petal soft and fair- <br />Bewitched, my entire stamen- <br />The Lilac's and Violets. can attest, they were there! <br /> <br />I ventured forth, to capture, your essence- <br />Simply, i had to make you mine- <br />But the Dandelions, took their refuge- <br />And kept you safe, near the Wild Ivy Vine! <br /> <br />Per chance, have you thought, of your morrow? <br />When, the Green Leaf, returns, once more- <br />When your beguiling fragrance, announces you- <br />Knowing, full well, 'tis you that i adore <br /> <br />Tell me, my sweet, sweet Rose- <br />Well hidden, under deep coloured, petal soft veil- <br />Do i even stand a chance, in heaven? <br />To entwine, with you, In the SpringTimes Brand New Dale?<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/elusive-rose/
