Sweetness of fragrant roses,
In Mary Anne's heart is found,
A sweetness highly renowned;
My heart with it she has crowned.

Roses have gorgeous petals
That will bloom and later fade.
When Mary Anne's heart flowers,
Lovely memories are made.

Her heart's sweetness continues
To be treasured much by me.
Her love has lassoed my heart,
In a way very gently.
