My Passion's Rose
My passion's rose, once ruby red;
Now faded white; her lure stays sweet.
With lust of youth her hue was shed,
My passion's rose, once ruby red.
With bloom subdued; devotion-fed,
she's scarlet-tinged and love's replete.
My passion's rose, once ruby red;
Now faded white; her lure stays sweet.
