The Rose of Tudor 1509

She knew her father had died in shame
A lasting slur on the Beaufort name
And her grandfather he was bastard born
The truth concealed distorted not worn

Secret ambition and deep desire
So strong her feelings a holy fire
The rose of Tudor risen from the earth
For the hope of her son at his birth

Margaret Beaufort she did foresee
For her son Henry on bended knee
For her red rose she did claim
To bring glory to Tudor's name

Secret ambition and deep desire
So strong her feelings a holy fire
The rose of Tudor risen from the earth
For the hope of her son at his birth

She lived to see her grandson crowned
At dissolving monasteries he was renowned
An evil man on a tyrant's quest
For his six wives he is known best

Driving ambition and deep desire
So strong her feelings a holy fire
The rose of Tudor risen from the earth
False hope for a grandson at his birth
