One Perfect Rose Lyrics
A single flow'r he sent me, since we met
All tenderly his messenger he chose
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet
One perfect rose
I knew the language of the floweret
'My fragile leaves,' it said, 'his heart enclose.'
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose
Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose
All tenderly his messenger he chose
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet
One perfect rose
I knew the language of the floweret
'My fragile leaves,' it said, 'his heart enclose.'
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose
Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose

Genius Annotation
The flower is “deep-hearted, pure”, and has a scent of wet dew. This might have something to do with the emotions of the man that sent the flower, or the color of the petals. To imply that the rose can have emotions just like a human is a case of personification. Again the flower is the symbol of love and affection.
