The Name of the Rose

In a monastery, 14th century
Young Adso, innocent, pure as can be
Apprentice to William, wise and keen
They step into a mystery, unseen

In the Name of the Rose, faith and fear
A tale of temptation, truth to hear

Adso wanders halls, old and grand
Meets a girl, with a secret hand
She's captivating, beautiful, a sight
In the monk's life, she brings the night

She talks of love, desires the body
In Adso's mind, it's all so shoddy
He's torn between his faith, his vows
And the feelings she arouses, wow

In the Name of the Rose, faith and fear
A tale of temptation, truth to hear

Through the mystery, deaths, and the dread
Adso grows, not just a monk, but a head
A tale of faith, desire, and the human plight
In the Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco, you write

So here's the tale, of Adso, the young monk
In the Name of the Rose, it's a chunk
Of history, mystery, and a seduction
In the heart of the monastery, it's a production
