Autoplay

A rose
Arose from the finest root
And bore a little flower
In the middle of the night and winter.

The rose-fanciers' club,
Seeking Since Isaiah,
Declared,
'Ave! Maria The Pure! '

'Could we aim a little higher? '
Urged Seekers not so sure.

Be it dream or introspection we may only aspire to perfection and yet it lilts a beckoning plea, come dance, come dance and to skirt around the unattainable.
