A soldier with heart in hand <br />A lonely woman with no one for a stand <br />Things just happen in this life afore <br />People just live and some just lived before <br />But a tear coming out of thee <br />It is indeed a tragedy <br />O ye, Rose of August Night <br /> <br />Damned let it be I say <br />That broke thy heart in such a play <br />Thy petals of that seldom beauty <br />Nothing for them, even gold in bounty <br />Let thy crown be higher than those of queens <br />Of lands seen and those behind scenes <br />Comparable not, O ye Rose of August night <br /> <br />Don't lose that tear my heart in beat <br />Heavens or hell I shall bring no matter how heat <br />Broken hearts can be mended with care <br />But my heart to whom shall it go in moments of scare <br />No way my diamond of heart can it follow <br />Until the green leaf of my youth shall become yellow <br />But only to you, my Rose of August night<br /><br />Taher Shemaly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rose-of-august/
