Low to the ground the lady knelt
No one could know the pain she felt
A rose lay on the cold dark mound
She wept and prayed without a sound
O hear my words, my gentle one
Please know that you are not alone
You said that through a crimson rose
You'd give a sign my heart would know
And as she spake, the crimson rose
Opened once...and then it closed
It was the sign her heart would know
That he at last could let her go
