Who esteemed her for her love
She wouldn’t love him as much he knew
Yet her he did love

She knew well how love could pain
She couldn’t bring it on someone
She knew the rose would still remain
That it wished her a new sun

She took the hand offered to her
And lived a life of bliss
In her heart, they both were
One as faith, and one as bliss

She still often went to the rose
For all her years it stood
And so as this legend shows
One falls in love for good

Thus it seems to end in glory
This tale of love’s glow

Only after he had died
