SEEN ON THE SIDE
BY HENRY EDWARD WARNER

Planted a Rose.
1 planted Rose In my garden,
And planted II thcro for You;
L watered my Roso and tended my Rose
? And the grateful Flower grew.
And when it had budded and opened.
l took one flower one day
~ fragrant flower, n wondrous Hover.
took ono flower away
Il held the Rose as l pondered,
And this was q bright June morn;
l smelled the Rose. but the Rose it turned
And stabbed me with its thorn
And wiped the blood from my finger
From the stab of the Rose that grew
In the garden fair; I'd planted IL there
To remind me, dear. of You.
And since liavo wed. I've wondered
When the thorn made it's cruel slip,
Whether the flower was trying its best
To give me friendly tip.
But thorns. they may stab and bruisc me;
And thorns. they may wound me sore,
But Il Rose must have its protector.
For that's what the Thorn is for.
And so may your thorns distress me,
And ever they will, I suppose;
But what are tho odds what thorn may do
So long as I've got the Rose?
