Analysis of The Meaning Of A Rose
When a man gives a woman
A rose, a speech, it is, he makes.
And it is eloquence--at its best,
Even when words fail him.
It is a confession--a solemn commencement
To a blessed communion.
When a man gives a woman
A rose, a miracle, it is (in most cases)
That they both create--for each other.
And--love is this miracle
That when it blossoms
There is no better garden--anywhere
In God's green earth--a home.
The meaning of a rose
Is the meaning of love.
