The Wilting of the Radiant Rose
Asian sun rises from the east
Rose seeds beneath the fence
For these petals are released
The perfumed smell of the rose lingers
The scene is hailed by the divine
Asian sun rises from the east
Although the rose has passed
Its impression will remain
For these petals are released
Death has come and the rose withers
No other like it will be spotted
Asian sun rises from the east
The rose has moved on to another place
Tunnel of light is iridescent
For these petals are released
The Sun sets in the West
The rose is laid to rest
Asian sun rises from the east
For these petals are released
