Naming the Rose

	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.
