The Rose
© Pierre de Ronsard

That this morning did unclose
Her purple mantle to the light,
Lost, before the day be dead,
The glory of her raiment red,
Her colour, bright as yours is bright?

When all the leaves in the trees were green,
Through the green meadows he did pass
On the day he was full seventeen.
