The Day has dawned, thy festal Day, O Rose.

Excerpt

The Day has dawned, thy festal Day, O Rose; Our cheeks all glow in thy bright Ray, O Rose. Love was the Gardener of the Rose-bed there; And now thy Flower blooms forth all gay, O Rose. When Herald Breezes blew: "The Rose!" the Flowers Kneeling to thee glad Homage pay, O Rose. The Tulips danced; the Lilies, drinking there, Their brightest hues to thee display, O Rose.
