The glass rose

Just a small glass rose
Upon a shelf  -
It seemed to beckon me.
 
I gazed at it
All shining bright
And somehow thought of thee!
 
On upright stem  -
Bloom held aloft  -
'Twas such a lovely sight!
 
I chose that rose
Of molten glass
And held it gently in my hand.
 
I took it home
And packed it up
To send to your fair hand
 
Each time you see
This pretty rose
As it is standing there
 
I hope you'll know
I think of you
And that I truly care!
