Happy

O a lonely girl she was,

   and sad her hidden hues

   betrothed in a deep wilderness,

   where the birds are quiet with tears,

   nor a passing soul to touch,

   that density of hers;

Her nose always in the sadness 

   of bleeding-reds,

   King-Rose, and him ----

   haunting in her shadow,

   but bitter sweet....

To await his nevermore-return,

   betrothed in a deep wilderness,

She would venture beyond her wood

   and bury herself with weeping petals ----

   hide her despair from the eyes of the world:

   she would try to be 

   Happy
