OH! BEAUTIFUL ONE!



The beautiful white rose,
Smiled out from the bud closed,
Fighting away the scary throes,
That death to all pose,
Though surrounded by prickly thorns,
She is the fresh and pure one that adorns
The morning; She is here for a noble purpose,
To bring in joys, fight out all woes.



Oh! Beautiful one!
Like a pure, pious nun,
Dressed in white layers,
Engrossed in your prayers,
Thanking the divine,
Your love within enshrined
For all parts of divinity,
Enveloping all in the vicinity.



All touched by your femininity,
Rejoicing in your holy beauty,
Spreading happiness
With your prettiness,
Your soft white habits
Portraying you as an Abbess,
A picture of piety
And holy beauty.



Touch all hearts,
With your sweetness nurse
Their grief and wounds,
Helping them get over them and mend
Their life's ways
While you teach us with the passing day,
Smiling gallantly, about life being transient,
Living a handful of hours like a princess valiant.
