BlUe RoSeS

Beside a lake two lovers walked

Dimly cheerful as they talked

She: “Please tell me, do you love me well?”

He: “I love thee more than words can tell.”

She: “Then, in your smile let me know.”

He: “I love thee more than I can show.”

She: “Then touch my face that I may feel it.”

He: “A simple touch could not reveal it.”

She: “If not to hear nor see nor feel,

Then how am I to know it’s real?”

He: “My every joy to thee I owe.”

She: “If that be true then prove it so.”

He: “Whatever you wish I shall acquire.”

“Whatever is thy heart’s desire.

Look around this wondrous land,

Tell me what you find most grand.

Tell me what you deem the fairest,

Even if it be the rarest,

For I would tame hell’s hottest fire

To bring you what you so desire.”

She: “There is a thing my heart doth treasure,

From which I yield unending pleasure.

Before the light of this day closes,

I bid thee, find me two blue roses.”

He: “I know not any place to find

A single rosebush of that kind,

Alas, my dear, I must insist

Such blue roses do not exist.”

She: “Though easily you may ignore

I know you’ve seen them times before.

But if my request thou dost deny,

My love for thee would surely die.

And so, my sweet, a fond adieu,

In hopes you find my roses blue.”

He: “To prove to thee this love is true

I shall find two roses blue."

First true love once die in despair…

Alive, beating still is one heart we both share…
