Fair Rose, I see thee not with eyes of flesh,
But with mine heart, espy thy beauty rare,
In chambered vault, thy petals fair enmesh,
My mortal soul; within thy bloom ensnare.
I sail with thee, aboard the Southern Cross,
On winds of time, on rising evening's mist,
Within thy arms, upon my brow emboss,
Thy tender lips; as if by goddess kissed.
Thou art Venus, who shepherds in the night,
A beacon bright, as stars awake to shine,
In harmony, in glow of Luna's light,
And cede to thee, my beauteous Rose divine.
Fair Rose, thy bloom on wings of heaven's glow,
Illumes the night; angelic grace bestow.

A sonnet is rare on the board, and this is lovely, just lovely.
