Dusk conquered I found a thorn,
A Foe did birth this thorn,
Curved, sharp, and adapted for wear.
The result of a Roseate’ affair.
Dusk conquered I found a thorn;
For all the day I wore this scorn.
A gift dressed like a flower.
Eden’s wit accepted this glower.
What Foe did birth this thorn?
A trivial road named Forlorn.
Painfully this thorn I earned.
Revelation that now I learn.
What Foe did birth his thorn?
Thy wickedness he hath born.
Dusk conquered he found his thorn.
And now in the roseate’ glow of dawn
We mourn.
