To ----, With A Rose

      I asked my heart to say

Some word whose worth my love's devoir might pay

      Upon my Lady's natal day.

      Then said my heart to me:

`Learn from the rhyme that now shall come to thee

      What fits thy Love most lovingly.'

      This gift that learning shows;

For, as a rhyme unto its rhyme-twin goes,

      I send a rose unto a Rose.
