A sepal, petal¹, and a thorn 

Upon a common summer's morn - 

A flask² of Dew - A Bee or two - 

A Breeze - a caper³ in the trees - 

And I'm a Rose! 

 

A few lines and there is an idyllic⁴ summer image. She herself becomes the rose. In her is the sepal protecting the precious flower within. In her is the luscious⁵ petal of the flower itself, - as well as the painful thorn that protects from depredations⁶. Give her just dew, bees, a bush and a breeze and she is fine with simply being a rose. 

 

一个萼片，一叶花瓣，和一根荆棘 

在一个普通的夏日晨曦— 

一瓶露水—一只或两只蜜蜂— 

一缕轻风—一株马槟榔长在树林里— 

而我，则是一朵玫瑰!
