Roses by George Eliot
You love the roses - so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses, as they rain

From off the shaken bush. Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white

And soft to tread on. They would fall as light
As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be

Like sleeping and like waking, all at once!
