Garland for Queens, may be－
Laurels－for rare degree
Of soul or sword.
Ah－but remembering me－
Ah－but remembering thee－
Nature in chivalry－
Nature in charity－
Nature in equity－
This Rose ordained!

Emily Dickinson

Virtue worthy of this Rose

Garland for Queens, maybe－
Laurels－for rare merit
Of soul or sword.
Ah－but remembering me－
Ah－but remembering thee－
Knightly Virtue－
Merciful Virtue－
Fair Virtue－
Appointed this Rose!
