A double triolet expressing the poet's love and appreciation for his best friend, Rose, who rescued him from a life of profound despair and bitterness. She is the godsend for whom he is most grateful.
A bard and swan, I love thee, Rose:
the one for whom I pen this song
that trills a note which sweetly flows.
A bard and swan, I love thee, Rose,
for whom the mind expands and grows
when the sun's rays burn hot and strong.
A bard and swan, I praise thee, Rose,
with all the sound that rhyme bestows.
II.
My love for Rose, though torn apart,
sings like a song which sweetly flows
from this poet's pen as rhythmic art.
My love for Rose, though torn apart,
beats and throbs like a newborn heart.
But God knows that my love for Rose
endows me with a fresh, new start:
for she's my life's compass and chart!

''My Love for Rose'' Reprised (Revised)
I.A bard and swan, I love thee, Rose:
the one for whom I pen this song
that trills a note which sweetly flows.
A bard and swan, I love thee, Rose,
for whom the mind expands and grows
when the sun's rays burn hot and strong.
A bard and swan, I praise thee, Rose,
with all the sound that rhyme bestows.
II.
My love for Rose, though torn apart,
sings like a song which sweetly flows
from this poet's pen as rhythmic art.
My love for Rose, though torn apart,
beats and throbs like a newborn heart.
But God knows that my love for Rose
endows me with a fresh, new start:
for she's my life's compass and chart!
