Only roses know the best of love
And lips know the saddest lies
So do I of a weird dream
That bleeds but never dies
The temple bears the deeds and sins
And the rainbow bears the rays
So do I of an autumn morn
That shines but never stays
The faces hide the nicest soul
And wings hide a deadly flight
So do I of a fallen leaf
That severs but never loses delight
Only kids listen to unknown tales
And hearts listen to a sigh
So do I to the mourner's dirge
That surrounds but is never nigh
Trees whisper to new-born birds
And dews whisper to aging night
So do I to my own reasons
That revolt but never fight
The winter walks to season's seed
And the spring walks its green
So do I to the Holy Cross
That beckons but never lets me in
