Alas. alas, Raissa, my rose!
Winter defiowered the summer,
And every rose but she
Died, and the earth weighed on them,
And snow upon their tree;
Raissa tired of my warm hearth
And fain would with them be.
Alas. alas, Raissa, my rose!
Before death stole upon her
Lying upon my bed,
She cried upon her sister.
The white rose that was dead;
And the yellow rose, her lover,
She walled on his golden head.
And cursed the hands that held her back
And the silver ring that wed.
Alas, alas, Raissas my rose that's dead
