The Heart of the Rose

I gift thee this rose
my love, Nature's passion
new bloom'd, dark and deep,
as was our love, so long ago;
a rose divinely destin'd
to flower across all time,
our hearts entwined forever.

Look deep
into the heart of the rose
my love, and you will find
your heart;

Look deep
into the heart of the rose
my love, and you will find
my heart;

Look deep
into the heart of the rose
my love, and you will find
the heart of God.
