Roses lyrics

Amidst the gardens growing

Amongst the many thorns bared

Lies beauty tender, fragrant

The petals softly hued - the rose

They are far fewer than briars

That grow as obsticles to all

And forbidding, they stay most

Though the brave venture near

A testament to valour in danger

Its sharp points so unyielding

That beauty be admired from afar

Preserved, its splendor intact

Nature keeps its most cherished

Such frailty and botanical form

Are paralled in human kind

Care taken to bring them love

There are many thorns to elude

Their snares and snags severe

In opposition of the few prized

Blossoms of infrequent beauty
