The Bleeding Rose
An angel sent from heaven
Came to a garden fair
Searching for a flower
To wreath her golden hair
A lily grew in splendor
Radiant and white
Dazzling in the sun
Shimmering of light
Then a single blood red rose
Caught the angel's eye
Dark and mysterious
She could not pass it by
Crimson petals beckoned
Beautiful and rare
The angel chose the red rose
To wreath her golden hair
But when she plucked the blossom
Was pierced by savage thorn
Blood flowed from the flower
The angel's heart was torn
The garden is bursting with color
Blossoms of every hue
A rose of the heart or a lily of light
Which will the angel choose
Roses like souls need tending
Lest they shrivel and fade on the vine
Neglect a red rose, crimson petals rain down
The flower will wither in time
An angel sent from heaven
Came to a garden fair
Searching for a flower
To wreath her golden hair
She cast it to the ground
And then she did dispose
Choosing the pale lily
Instead of the bleeding rose
Came to a garden fair
Searching for a flower
To wreath her golden hair
A lily grew in splendor
Radiant and white
Dazzling in the sun
Shimmering of light
Then a single blood red rose
Caught the angel's eye
Dark and mysterious
She could not pass it by
Crimson petals beckoned
Beautiful and rare
The angel chose the red rose
To wreath her golden hair
But when she plucked the blossom
Was pierced by savage thorn
Blood flowed from the flower
The angel's heart was torn
The garden is bursting with color
Blossoms of every hue
A rose of the heart or a lily of light
Which will the angel choose
Roses like souls need tending
Lest they shrivel and fade on the vine
Neglect a red rose, crimson petals rain down
The flower will wither in time
An angel sent from heaven
Came to a garden fair
Searching for a flower
To wreath her golden hair
She cast it to the ground
And then she did dispose
Choosing the pale lily
Instead of the bleeding rose
