The rose, now grasped within my hand
That lay wilting, dying - -
Has been plucked from the land
With Mother Earth, who now lay crying
Goodbye the gentle ones of this place
That now upon the land lies cold - -
Has disappeared without a trace
A world, whose beauty, it could not hold
And winter comes; its white snow falls
And sleep, and dark it brings upon - -
The world it voices its anguished calls
Gentle lives now dead, cannot be undone
And when tomorrow's skies appear
To melt away the blanket, white - -
Giving way to a childish fear
So begins another foolish fight
And by and by destruction proves
The death of all things pure - -
Imbalance there will be, should nature lose
Kindness, love… are the only cure
Mother Earth, against the darkened side
Hoping to win this ruthless fight - -
And make the dark ones forever hide
And bring all beings into the light
