Oh! Thou Stare at Me

Oh! Thou stare at me with eyes like blossoming rose
That the glazing sun gazes upon.
Thy thorns spur forth like diamond rays
So bright I’m amaze
Thy warm breath brushes forth thy leaves in haste
Rushes to the wild depths of my fortress
Till thy fragrant rose rouses my mind’s fairest dreams
To warfare and most unfeigned conquest.
