Beguiling Rose
So blessed the Rose that knows no pain
Exquisite Empress with elegance reigns
To please my world with joy and grace
Her essence furled her scent embraced
Bewitched by love and sweet refrain
She wears her thorns so smug and vain
To place her scorn to make joy feign
Her beauty shows a selfish face
Beguiling Rose of mine
So when my faith and dreams thus drain
As blood flows red from wounded stain
Forgetting not her bliss erased
Her radiant face of wine and lace
She pricks my heart with such disdain
Beguiling Rose of mine
