Anemone

Anemone

O’ tis bittersweet shame
Β Adour's unrequited game
Adonis, I yearn thou grace
Come hither fond embrace

Pray-tell, what I ado
To earn abiding virtue
Sweetlips thou hoard
Hunt, thine sole reward

Grave tis beastly pursuit
Tusks an envious brute
Ares debauchery afoot
Anemone concepts root

Fairwinds triste refrain
Torn from mortal plane
O' teardrops profound
Melancholia posies resound
