Give me that rose!
It rests, it blows,
Next to your heart, my sweet.
That flower to which such favour has been shown
Amid Song's deathless flowers shall win a throne
From which to watch the baffled years retreat;
Give me that rose!

Give me that rose:
Our moment goes;
What now might chance, again may never be!
If I have loved you with a love supreme,
For just one wild mad moment let me dream
(And die within the dream) that you love me !
Give me the rose!
