China Roses

Who can tell me if we have heaven?

Who can say the way it should be?

Moonlight holly, the Sappho Comet

Angel's tears below a tree

You talk of the break of morning

As you view the new aurora

Cloud in crimson, the Key of Heaven

One love carved in acajou

One told me of China Roses

One a thousand nights and one night

Earth's last picture, the end of evening

Hue of indigo and blue

A new moon leads me to

Woods of dreams and I follow

A new world waits for me

My dream, my way

I know that if I have heaven

There is nothing to desire

Rain and river, a world of wonder

May be paradise to me
