The Rose Thieves
Someone be a rose tree
Some be the wind's daughters
Some the rose thieves
The rose thieves creep up on the rose tree
One of them steals a rose
Hides it in his heart
The wind's daughters appear
See the tree stripped of its beauty
And give chase to the rose thieves
Open up their breasts one by one
In some they find a heart
In some so help me none
They go on opening up their breasts
Until they uncover one heart
And in that heart the stolen rose
