The Lonely Rose
One rose only lies alone,
Beneath the earth and a cold gray stone.
Taken from love's enduring sight,
To shine no more her beauty, bright.
No more to blossom in love's light,
left to wither in the black of night.
Vengeful Gods have placed her there,
to serve their dream of life's despair.
Without regard, and no regret,
they wield their power, then forget.
