Roses are red (4 feet)


They grow so pretty (5 feet)

In our fair backyard (4 feet)

Where birds love to ditty (5 feet)

Underneath the shade of one lovely tree (8 feet)

That’s where their sweet scents reach me so (7 feet)

The fragrance, it makes my soul soar (7 feet)

They remind me of loved ones I long to meet before (8 feet)

A lovely red bouquet just for me (5 feet)
