Song of the Rose
Mighty does suffer the soul of man; For want of mere gentle succor
By sword and scourge fire and chain; We seek our God through measure of pain
We find no peace in Sacred Chalice; but heap dread scorn and bitter malice
Pray nay listen hateful cries that bind the heart with pain and lies
Proffer not wages of war and hate; Nay child! Be true thy heart O' child of fate
Accept this Rose warm and wise; Full of grace 'neath endless skies
