A rose once grew where all could see

Sheltered beside a garden wall

And as the days passed swiftly by

It spread it branches straight and tall

One day a beam of light shone through

A crevice that had opened wide

The rose bent gently towards its warmth

Then passed beyond to the other side

Now you who deeply feel its loss

Be comforted - the rose blooms there -

Its beauty even greater now

Nurtured by gods own loving care
