Deep within the dew-cool chalice of a rose,
Of a rose,
Do you read the mystic secrets of a rose?
Does a master sculptor's carving
Speak of One by Galilee?
Is His love for pristine beauty
In the perfect symmetry
Of a rose?
Do you scan the moonlight lyrics of a rose,
Of a rose--
Pearls of truth within the chalice of a rose?
Is a virgin bud unfolding
Fragranced by an Infant's breath?
Do you see the Risen Master
When you weep the gentle death
Of a rose?
