Your Face Glowed Like Brightest of Rose Flowers
Your Face Glowed Like Brightest Of Rose Flowers
In that past life you were the only one,
sweetest filling in my first apple pie.
Now time cries out loud, we are both undone
our broken tears fall like rains from the sky.
Weep not fair maiden, life gives and it takes,
for its shadows have sad echoes ringing.
Mourn ye not so, for dearest heaven's sakes,
tomorrow life will gift dances and singing.
Midnight, you swore eternity was ours,
yet Fate that wretched beast has final say.
Your face glowed like brightest of rose flowers
Rejoice in those treasures, we had our day!
In hidden paths, we may yet meet again.
Not as star-crossed lovers but as lost friends!
