The Art of
Cicely Mary Barker

The Rose Fairy

 

Best and dearest flower that grows,
Perfect both to see and smell;
Words can never, never tell
Half the beauty of a Rose~~
Buds that open to disclose
Fold on fold of purest white,
Lovely pink, or red that glows
Deep, sweet~scented, What delight
To be Fairy of the Rose!
