A Lily, A Rose


A rose, a rose A flower of red Attraction and lust So fills my head For it I left my darling Lily My white and pure perfection A rose, a rose A flower of thorns A passion bright That scraped and scorned For it I left my darling Lily My gentle flower of soul A rose, a rose A flower so rare A boy who promised But never was there For him I left my darling Lily The boy who held my heart
