Belfast Rose
Craig Herbertson

The last red rose of summer

Eed as red can be

Fairer than the others

But not so fair as she


Flags of every colour

Men have died for those

Blood as red as flowers

As red as any rose


So softly fills my room

With her haunting sweet perfume

Here then gone forever

My bonnie Belfast rose


Tell me all your stories


Days of long ago

Beauties rare and splendid

But not my Belfast rose


So softly fills my room

With her haunting sweet perfume

Here then gone forever

My bonnie Belfast rose


Farewell my restless visions

Gone like glad old clothes

Some you keep forever

But not my Belfast rose.
