Red are the Roses, Violets are of blue; Sugar is very sweet. But, not like you. Sugar could never Your sweetness measure, There is nothing so clever to capture you! Though only a picture i see, lips so inviting, a smile so enlightening, Like the Red of the Roses and the Violets of Blue. Though only a picture i see, Your features are enchanting to me, Sets my heart-a-prancing, My spirit is dancing, as i look upon eyes deep like the sea. A face so beguiling, From a place True, Like the Red of the Roses, And the Violets Blue.
