FORGOTTEN PETALS

A BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANT ROSE WAS BORN IN MY GARDEN
LOVELY AND DELICATE AS NATURE ITSELF
BUTTERFLIES FLUTTER IN FULL SPLENDOR
DISPLAYING AND ADMIRING THEIR OWN BEAUTY

AND LOVELY GREEN TREES SURROUND THE ROWS OF FLOWERS
THROWING WIDE SHADOWS OVER THE ROSE GARDEN
AND SPRING IS PERFUMED IN ALL ITS SPLENDOR
SHOWING NATURE ALL ITS VALUE THAT GOD MADE

I COULD NOT RESIST THE TEMPTATION
THIS GREAT PASSION THAT THE ROSE PROVOKED IN ME
I WENT TO THE GARDEN AND PICKED THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWER
AND PRESENTED IT TO MY FIRST LOVE

TODAY THE BEAUTIFUL ROSE LIES IN FORGOTTEN PETALS
IT WAS THE FIRST LOVE THAT PIERCED MY LIFE
AND THE ROSE WILTED, I FELT TERRIBLE
MY FIRST LOVE HAD DIED
