A red rose rests upon a grave,
With blood upon its thorns.
No one knows who placed it there,
Or for whom the red rose mourns.

Raindrops fall in disarray,
And mingle with the blood.
They twist and writhe in little pools,
And feed the yearning bud.

Granite cracks and crumbles,
And engravings fade away.
The flower blooms and multiplies
And thrives on the decay.

The red rose slowly withers,
And the petals disappear.
Though the clouds may shift and roll,
They always fail to clear.

A child stares down at a grave,
And runs a finger o�er the thorns.
She sits there slowly wondering,
For whom the red rose mourns.
