THE BLACK ROSE


A fell bird spits; my gold rose wails
Ice rots her glow and rays of love
Her body is puce; tar spews from boils
it stabs blest eyes that dim to die.
A foul song whines; the foe gnaws flesh
to gild his nest with gems of rout.
His iron mob pulps the air stung red
Barbs rage in trees and kill like asps
O woe fair buds; your reign is ash!”
