A Rose
Should I mourn each falling leaf?
Distrait of beauty in my grief
Observe the rose in such pain
To stay a rose there to remain
Watching one by one they fall
Leaf by leaf and petals all
Naked now there unadorned
Beauty lost but hardly mourned
Knowing each one as they fell
Left the love they came to tell
