A sunset in a rose:
The sun came up
It traveled west
Found its home in a rose.
The rose bud opened
After a long repose
One by one the petals blossomed-
The the sun set in the rose
A dozen roses have I
All heavenly scented
Had a tear in my eye
Made my heart glad
Made me sing
A sunset in a rose
Such a beautiful thing!
