Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Songs of Love and War "He gave his life that his country might live. One winter morn I saw a rose, A white rose blooming in the snow. As pale as death by a grave it grows. With a fragrance sweeter than earthly rose That white rose blows in the glistening snow. As fair it blooms as it bloomed of yore On a winter morn long, long ago, When the land had rest from a cruel war, And the soldier´s friends this tribute bore To him who lay in the grave below. Methinks that once that rose was red, Before it bloomed above the dead, A new-blown rich-red jacqueminot, Symbol of the abundant life That through the soldier´s veins did flow. But that was many years ago; And he who plucked the rose so red And turned it white above the dead, The cunning hand that carved the rose Laid down the chisel long ago. Nor do I think it was in grief That skilful hand turned petals white, And changed to marble each green leaf, And carved a bud beside the rose - His was the seer´s inner light.
