He laid down his heart before her
Wrapped in a red rose. She turned
Her golden head, in disdain. 'Bring me a green rose,' said she.
'My empire for a green rose! Let
Mountains melt in the ocean ; may
The Poles meet at the center of the earth! No rest till we find the green rose!'
Eons passed. He met her again,
In a murky subway, gasping for breath, eyes staring beyond death.
Between her gaping lips lay an emerald rose.
