Let these passionate and devoted roses
be bestowed while hope is fresh in heart
and not yet gone to woe
It is a grievous curse to know 
that pledges made most honestly in voice and verse, do sometimes wickedly sashay
off well-intentioned courses
before the anniversary day
So while the curtain's high above the play,
I offer you this simple love bouquet
May red and white eternal bloom
And never lie forgotten in some posthumous room
