THE ROSE AND THE GOLD

 

THE ROSE AND THE GOLD

I was ever for the rose and gold of it,

The roselore twining through poetry

The trellis my own

So have I kept the shine of it

From childhood on

And I will wreath for my darlings

The minstrels far from home

The wanderers of all ages

This wreath of rose

This pause of gold

In their faraway music

I intuit most

when I am all alone.
