Roses are dead, Violets are gone, Both gave up at break of dawn Couldn’t last to see the night Or pretty stars that fill the sky Couldn’t hold all its weight Petals fell day after day Wilted flowers tried to stand Mighty roots gave up again Tried to fight, Tried to live Tried the very best it could But in the end, All life must end No more flowers may exist, At break of dawn both gave up, Roses dead, Violets gone.
