Song Text

Yellow flushed with pink
Sleeps under winter’s wings
Untouched by the Light
Or springtime’s breeze
Slumbers
Curled within her leaves

Sunlight rises with the dawn
Rousing fern and fawn
Warmth sinks beneath
The Darkness cold
Awakens
Leaves unfold

A Rose flushed with pink
Yellow fills the golden rim
Emerges shyly yet
From her virgin winter bed
Rising
Towards sunlight’s kiss.
