No mortal ever knows
How to surrender to a rose;
But simply says: "Suppose
This flower should teach me how to die,
Where would I find Eternity?"
How to surrender to a rose;
But simply says: "Suppose
This flower should teach me how to die,
Where would I find Eternity?"
God in His wrath arose
And let his thunder peal the word: "Suppose!
Do not defile the rose.
Petal-light is the weight of My power;
And man in the dust shall kneel to a flower."
