作词 : Hammill | |
He had worked on this for years | |
since they know they'd be childless: | |
to hybridise a thornless | |
and deep-scented damask rose. | |
She was always by his side | |
in the lengthening shadows... | |
this case is closed. | |
Ena Harkness, Constance Spry, | |
Emily Grey, Margaret Merrill, | |
Zepherine Drouhin, Aimee Vibert and Blanche Moreau – | |
all these spirits still survive in the act of the grower | |
(in peace and compassion he's...) | |
naming the rose, | |
naming the rose in the memory of sweetness. | |
Dedication to the call | |
and he offers up the hope | |
that love conquers all. | |
It's not easy to explain | |
how he felt at her passing | |
the very day on which | |
the most perfect bloom was full-blown; | |
tender cruelty that she'd | |
never share in this moment, | |
naming the rose. | |
He takes her ashes to the seed-bed | |
and works them in gently | |
so that her soul will rise like sap | |
in the plants as they grow | |
and then whispering her name | |
writes it out on the label, | |
naming the rose, | |
naming the rose | |
for the sake of her sweetness. | |
Naming the rose | |
in the memory of sweetness. |
