Lovely Rose, Queen of Fragrance


Queen of fragrance, lovely rose,
The beauties of they leaves disclose!


The winter's past, the tempests fly,
Soft gales breathe gently through the sky;


The lark's sweet warbling on the wing
Salutes the gay return of spring:


The silver dews, the vernal showers,
Call forth a bloomy waste of flowers;


The joyous fields, the shady woods,
Are cloth'd with green, or swell with buds;


They hast thy beauties to disclose,
Queen of fragrance, lovely rose!
