Midsummer Rose Dream Divination

Perform the following divination on Midsummer Eve,
When the clock chimes 12 to usher the witching hour:
Without uttering a single word, walk backwards into
A garden and gather the reddest rose in full bloom.
Wrap it in a clean sheet of white paper, and then tuck
It away in some secret hiding place where it will be undisturbed.

At sunrise on the day of the old Winter Solstice (Dec 25th)
Remove the rose from the paper and place the flower on
Your bosom. According to legend, the man who is destined
To become your husband will then come and snatch it away.
