“THE TIME, THE PLACE, THE BELOVED.”
Reading edition
You and I among the roses— You and I and love and June— All without and all within us Set to one sweet happy tune! You and I among the roses! Drowsy bees go blundering by; ’Mid the tresses on your temples Little breezes swoon and die. You and I among the roses! Overhead a sapphire dome; ’Neath our feet a sea of emerald, Flecked with daisies for its foam. You and I among the roses— ’Tis for love the time and place! What a world of rapture can be Crowded into one small space.
