Classic Poem

The rose is queen among the flowers,
None other is so fair:
The lily nodding on her stem
With fragrance fills the air.
But sweeter than the lily's breath
And than the rose more fair,
The tender love of human hearts
That springeth everywhere.

The rose will fade and fall away,
The lily too will die:
But love shall live forevermore
Beyond the starry sky.
Then sweeter than the lily's breath
And than the rose more fair,
The tender love of human hearts
Upspringing everywhere.
