Red red rose

Red red rose,
Colour of my blood,
Red red rose,
Like my bloody flood.

Red red rose,
Crimson ruby rose,
Such secrets
That no one knows.

Red red rose,
The beauty you hold,
Red red rose,
Never cold.

Red red rose,
Show every one
That I gave in,
That they won.

Red red rose,
You lay upon my grave,
Red red rose,
You couldn’t save.

Red red rose,
Death has come to us,
Let us slip away,
Not a word, not a fuss.
