 * The red rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; O, the red rose is a falcon,  And the white rose is a dove.But I send you a cream-white rosebud  With a flush on its petal tips, For the love that is purest and sweetest  Has a kiss of desire on the lips. ~ John Boyle O'Reilly (birthday)
