Rose
of Sharon
Form:
Heroic Rispetto
Before
Mt. Carmel's feet a rose was sown
and haloed in the dew of Sharon's plains,
with grandeur of the Song of Songs cologne,
whose fragrance even to this day remains.
O Rose of Sharon, how your essence dwells
within my temple where glad priestly bells
extol divinest praise of tribute paid,
for Glory's crowning buds on Heaven's blade!
inspired by Song of Solomon
