On this day to life she came— <br />May-Rose, my May-Rose! <br />With scented breeze, with flowered flame, <br />She touched the earth and took her name <br />Of May, Rose. <br />Here, to-day, she grows and flowers— <br />May-Rose, my May-Rose. <br />All my life with light she dowers, <br />And colors all the coming hours <br />With May, Rose!<br /><br />George Parsons Lathrop<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/may-rose/
