Paul Laurence Dunbar - She Gave Me A Rose
Work rating: Low

She gave a rose,
    And I kissed it and pressed it.
  I love her, she knows,
    And my action confessed it.
  She gave me a rose,
    And I kissed it and pressed it.

  Ah, how my heart glows,
    Could I ever have guessed it?
  It is fair to suppose
    That I might have repressed it:
  She gave me a rose,
    And I kissed it and pressed it.

  `T was a rhyme in life`s prose
    That uplifted and blest it.
  Man`s nature, who knows
    Until love comes to test it?
  She gave me a rose,
    And I kissed it and pressed it.
