Ancient tomb where a lady does repose
Guarded always by her most faithful friends
Sarcophagus carved with eternal rose
Always safe forever they will defend.
This tomb completely lost to march of time
Buried deep under eternal city
Floral smell invades space it is sublime
The guards are stoic no sign of pity.
Life lived where duty did always prevail
Her young beauty was compromised by age
In declining years she became so frail
Yet, wisdom was boundless a mortal sage.
Her lost tomb and guards do not perceive time
Even though the city bells oft-times chime.
