Oh adorable beauty In an odoriferous meadow I saw you dance With emerald grass caressing your feet But your emotions made these orchids bleed You made them bleed You held a rose Its thorns nailed in your hands Did you feel my desire to be in your arms Lay yourself close against me Let your tears melt into chastity There is much more to comfort for So caress and embrace me with your pity Feed me with a romance Why still hunger for a feast among flowers Let this be the perfect performance of a tragedy I will pull you away from these demons You don't have to drown like Sappho But would you declaim to me a love poem You held a rose Its thorns nailed in your hands Did you feel my desire to be those thorns
