She was but a sonnet like no other, With a tongue of rose and hands cold as snow. And happy were we, I and my lover, Wandering land our souls could only know. For flowers so picturesque there did grow. O' but one morning the weatherman said - "Halt! Winter is coming, beware of snow." Listen we didn't but read books instead - Ignoring the voices inside our heads. The lands deceased as the Winter drew nigh, Now brown and withered are the roses red. Alas came sorrow and the Heavens cry. Nightingales rise from within her heart - Sing to the moon "thou shall not fall apart."
