Rose of Rushoon <br /> <br /> <br /> Oh my lovely Rose of Rushoon<br /> You were my loves delight<br /> I can not forget your lovely face<br /> Though try as best I might<br /> <br /> Your sparkling eyes and jet black hair<br /> Your form so slender there<br /> Will stay with me forever more<br /> And cause me to declare<br /> <br /> That I am totally in your spell<br /> Bereft of all control<br /> I hope that where it all will end<br /> Will not on me take too much a toll. <br /> <br /> We sojourned there at waters edge<br /> Embraced as an intertwined thread<br /> With moon reflecting in waters behind<br /> Producing a halo round your head<br /> <br /> A fitting picture so it seems<br /> Of one so delicate and fair<br /> For you have smitten me without a doubt<br /> And caused me to stay here<br /> <br /> The many days and many nights<br /> We spent together in utter delight<br /> Are with me now though you are gone<br /> To rest in grave upon the height<br /> <br /> You have taken all my heart and soul<br /> And left me a hollow man<br /> I never dreamed I could be so touched<br /> In such a way as I am<br /> <br /> Forgive me love as I ramble on<br /> I hope I do make sense<br /> For grief has cast its spell on me<br /> And it is so intense<br /> <br /> Oh my lovely Rose of Rushoon<br /> You were my loves delight<br /> I cannot forget you though I try<br /> And try with all my might <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
