| The red rose whispers of passion |
 |
| And the white rose breathes of love |
 |
| Oh 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 |
