M'lady tends her flowers
With tendresse loving care
Her smile occludes a secret
Of what is residing there
A long ago truest love oh
Though his spirit did depart
He lives on forever more
Within her joy filled heart
Looking closely at her now
If she allows you to draw near
With the sun on her lovely face
You might see a single tear
The garden of peonies he planted
His gift though she didn't know
When he asked her to be his wife
At a time so very long ago
She lives her happy little life
So alive in her own dear way
Knowing that she draws nearer
To him with each passing day
She still tends the sweet blossoms
Which are held in her heart so dear
It keeps their love alive in her
As though he were still so near
