The Rose That Lived By the Lake

The rose that lived by the lake
At dawn she bloomed, she wakes
For humanity, for beauty's sake
The rose that lived by the lake

The rose that lived by the lake
Men of old paused to seek her face
Dazzled they were by the gaze of
The rose that lived by the lake

The rose that lived by the lake
Her splendor remedied aches
Firmly rooted, never to shake
The rose that lived by the lake

The rose that lived by the lake
Greeted princes on their way
Men smiled with much at stake seeing
The rose that lived by the lake

The rose that lived by the lake
Purified for a thousand years
None to keep, none to take
The rose that lived by the lake

The rose that lived by the lake
Caused kings around to debate
What palace befitted its magnificence
The rose that lived by the lake

The rose that lived by the lake
Had its head cut onto a plate
A tragic and terrible end of
The rose that lived by the lake
