I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind,
Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng
--
"Non Sum Qualis Eram Bonae sub Regno Cynarae"

Roses are shining in Picardy
In the hush of the silver dew;
Roses are flowering in Picardy
But there's never a rose like you.
And the roses will die with the summer time
And our roads may be far apart,
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy;
'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart.

 

Fred Weatherly

Dewy as the morning and colored like the dawn.

Anthony Trollope

 

There's a bower of roses by Bendemeer's stream,
And the nightingale sings round it all the day long;
In the time of my childhood 'twas like a sweet dream,
To sit in the roses and hear the bird's song.
