White-faced Winter Roses, <br />O'er the grave I plant you <br />Where the dead reposes, <br />That a soul may haunt you, <br />And your ghostly whiteness <br />In the Winter gloom, <br />Seem some spirit-brightness <br />Shining from the tomb!<br /><br />Francis William Bourdillon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmas-roses-3/
