One is born in the quest for love
But what’s love but pain and woe
Painters and poets all speak of
Before the end, most drown below

Diamond stars in dreamy skies
Raindrops falling on cupid’s arrow
Thunder falls and the angel dies
Ruby red the painting goes

On the balcony Juliet awaiting Romeo
To beat the kindred – grasp her heart
but through her blood, poisons flowed
Romeo flees before the battle ‘d start
