    On earth that soonest pass away.
    The rose that lives its little hour
    Is prized beyond the sculptured flower.

Go tell her all I fain would dare,

Go pretty rose, go to my fair,
Go tell her all I fain would dare,

Tell her of all I fain would sing,
Oh! were I like thee, so fair a thing.

For the moss-rose and the musk-rose,
Maiden-blush and royal-dusk rose,--

In such a company?--
Roses plenty, roses plenty
And one nightingale for twenty?"
