the red rose

Once the red rose grew I never saw it vanish.

Brightly it blooms this time. Can't get it to be banished.

You asked me if it still stood strong in my garden green

In, since the break of a new spring, which you haven't been.

So I denied your question. Too weak now for a fight.

But if you must see, how brightly it's colour, I guess, I have to say, I lied.
