Like a caged bird, rooted still by thorny briar <br />To kiss the very centre of pleasure’s fire, <br />The queen of beauty unfolds to caress mine eyes <br />Tis nature’s flaming red wonder that never dies, <br /> <br />Nay you live joyous in many a fair maidens cheek <br />As now my joy on the happiness plane doth peak, <br />So my beauty pieces of thee I snip oh rosy queen <br />For my love will know to the rose garden I’ve been. <br /> <br />My wages handsomely paid by your golden smile <br />A kiss then joy as you pose and enhance the posies <br />Red roses, yellow and white by a mile beguile <br />An’ life is I hope coming up as...for everything’s roses<br /><br />Ken e Hall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/roses-for-you-2/
