Shallow Rose

• Artist: Princess Sumire
• Description: This is part of an opera from my book. It is sung by a male actor playing a female role in an opera about how her lord (her husband, who is the lord over a small district of farmers) does not pay attention to her, however she still loves him. This is part of her solo scene where she lets the audience in on this secret.

Shallow rose,
my gentle lover
Oh, in heaven, cavernous close
My quiet screams your lullaby
Lord, have mercy,
I want to die
Shivering corpse in the dark,
your empty words may hit the mark
My gentle lover,
my shallow rose
I feel your cold down to my toes
