'Tis a crimson bud I treasured years ago,
When the door had closed and you were gone from me,
It was smiling on me from among the flowers
Roses strewn in love to thy memory.

It seemed to tell me that you had not gone
That all is life and nothing here to fear,
No cause for grief for parting is unreal
And love triumphant masters sorrow we have here.

How you loved the beauty of the roses
Ere you closed the door and went away from me,
But I know beyond the seeming shadows
That life is fair and all is well with thee.
