Clover leaf, honey dew
Gullible love, from my heart it spews
into the orchid garden where flowers are in bloom
and into the graveyard, where souls meet doom
Shield the orchids from flying embers
for fear their petals shall be dismembered
Shield them from this hurt
And bury the glowing embers within the earth
Watch the swallowtail as she flutters away
from Eden to the orchids, I hope that she'll stay
In the midst of the garden, the Green Man resides
he watches over us all, on guard by my side
even when the embers rust his face
he stands amongst the orchids, for this is his place.
