Rose

      Go lovely Rose,
    Tell her that wastes her time and me,
      That now she knows
    When I resemble her to thee
      How sweet and fair she seems to be.
      Tell her that's young,
    And shuns to have her graces spy'd
      That hadst thou sprung
    In desarts where no men abide,
      Thou must have uncommended dy'd.
      Small is the worth
    Of beauty from the light retir'd;
      Bid her come forth,
    Suffer her self to be desir'd,
      And not blush so to be admir'd.
      Then die that she,
    The common fate of all things rare
      May read in thee;
    How small a part of time they share,
      That are so wondrous sweet and fair.

                               - Edmund Waller 

We do not appreciate our graces of a time until intervening years reveal their worth---so as you be a rose, in the air and light live.
