Roses are beautiful and so are you. Roses grow noble and proud, so have you.
Roses have thorns, so that none but the adoring may touch them unscathed.
My eyes and heart adoringly touch you. I am your kinsman, devoted to every such rose as you.
In the winter, fall, summer, and springtime, I stand by your side.
Filled with wonder and joy, bursting with pride!
As I stand by your side, you make my own growing worthwhile.
Lovely white woman, “Earths Most Beautiful”, grow splendidly and ever fare thee well!
