A Rose in Winter The rose on snow lay... Live... Breathed petals on a wind... Whence you? Who so, beauty losing, Hastened with a bouquet on a holiday, in the morning? I see, how snowflakes, falling, So quickly thaw in your petals, Tears dark red flowing down... The rose lay... Silently... The Wind has abated... Favourite more perfectly those snowflakes All roses and petals in the winter And hardly the thawed dewdrops I want to be a wind, to be the friend for you..
