JUNE ROSE
Jose Antonio Cangco
'Twas a joy short-lived
And happiness grieved,
In a sight not seen
Laughter had not been,
The last rose in June
I had picked too soon,
Afraid it'd wither
My heart together.
I got it for you
A rose all so true
To pin on your breast
My love's very best.
'Twas a joy short-lived
And I'm deeply grieved
For the rose I gave
Love chose not to save.
