THE HIDDEN ROSE


INTO the clear sky

Where no moon grows,

Like smoke wends up the cry

Of earthly woes.


Up through the shrouded bars

Where the stream fors lows

Shine forth imprisoned stars

Of heaven's repose.


Round hidden point of rest

Loveliness goes,

Swirling hues will end our quest,

Regain The Rose.
