Language: English
White rose in the moonlight Touch'd with silver gleam Paramour of darkness Epitaph of dreams Ashen doves and rain drops Frighten'd secret things Cannot still the silence That the moonlight brings Cannot still the silence Cannot ease the pain What cruel will formed roses Ashen doves and rain
