I gave her a rose in early June, <br />Fed with the sun and the dew, <br />Each petal I said is a note in the tune, <br />The rose is the whole tune through and through, <br />The tune is the whole red-hearted rose, <br />Flush and form, honey and hue, <br />Lull with the cadence and throb to the close, <br />I love you, I love you, I love you. <br /> <br />She gave me a rose in early June, <br />Fed with the sun and the dew, <br />Each petal she said is a mount in the moon, <br />The rose is the whole moon through and through, <br />The moon is the whole pale-hearted rose, <br />Round and radiance, burnish and blue, <br />Break in the flood-tide that murmurs and flows, <br />I love you, I love you, I love you. <br /> <br />This is our love in early June, <br />Fed with the sun and the dew, <br />Moonlight and roses hid in a tune, <br />The roses are music through and through, <br />The moonlight falls in the breath of the rose, <br />Light and cadence, honey and hue, <br />Mingle, and murmur, and flow to the close, <br />I love you, I love you, I love you.<br /><br />Duncan Campbell Scott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-love-song-23/
