Flower among Flowers

by: Jose Rizal

Flower among flowers,

soft bud swooning,

that the wind moves

to a gentle crooning,

wind of heaven,

wind of love,

you who gladden

all you espy,

you who smile

and will not sight,

condour and fragrance

from above,

you who perhaps

came down to earth,

to bring the lonely

solace and mirth,

and to be a joy

for the heart to capture,

they say that into

your dawn you bear

the immaculate soul

a prisoner
-bound with the ties of passion ang rapture?

They said you spread

all good everywhere,

like the spring

which feels the air

with joy and flowwra

in apriltime,

They say you brighten

the soul that mourns

when dark clouds gather

and without thorns

blossom the roses

in your clime.

If then like a fairy

you enhance the joy of those

on whome you glance

with the magic charms

God gave to you,

oh spare me an hour

of your cheer

a single day of your career

that the best may savor

the bliss it new.
