The red rose whispers of passion,And the white rose breathes..
Added 2025-07-06 13:00:24 +0000 UTCThe red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.
The White Rose
