A winter rose is very rare br Whose delicate petals weep br As the bitter north winds blows br Them fiercely off to sleep br They awaken from their slumber br Beneath a warming sun br br And rise to stretch in glory br As a new day has begun br The winter rose has flourished br Through the passing time br A symbol of life's passion br And love that is sublime br br A new beginning, never to end br A life's passion, deeper than the sea br Embracing this thirsty soul br Never to be separated again br By the north wind blows..
