Song
Whitely like a red rose
My love is my love
Redly like a white rose
My love my love is.
Rosely white my love is
Like the rain
Rosely red like her kiss
My love is.
Softly like white rose petals
My love comes
Lonely like red rose petals
My love leaves.
Rosely she speaks of love
Wish love my love
Lovely she speaks to me
In rose words my love.
Rosely as with fire
My love she will love me
Whitely like eternity
My love I shall love her.
