AND still I look for the man who will dare to
be
roses of
England
wild roses
of England
men who
are wild roses of England
with metal thorns, beware!
but still more brave and still
more rare
the
courage of rosiness in a cabbage world
fragrance of roses in a stale stink of
lies
rose-leaves to
bewilder the clever fools
and rose-briars to strangle the
machine.
