Eleven Roses

One thought upon the dozen rose

twas thought the best to buy

for anyone with romance sense

t'would know the reason why


Tis best that man express his love

with twelve complete the list

society dictates the rule

tis twelve thou must insist


But what be less than one that twelve

with vase they thus surround

eleven be the course of hope

that more love left be found


The absence of that single rose

the dozen not complete

doth represent the wandered soul

the empty heart replete


Reminder of the vacant spot

that thus be deep within

that only One might fill that place

relieve thee of thy sin
