RONDEL


ABba abAB abbaA

Rondel for Elizabeth Taylor (1932 - 2011)

A corn flow'r blue hue of your eyes
with cheeks tinged pink,an English rose
a sad loss passing icon goes
the fans shed tears and say goodbye

The child wakes early cold sunrise
An actor's life is hard work code
A corn flow'r blue hue of your eyes
with cheeks tinged pink, an English rose

And fame caused spite and jealous jibes
from media self righteous Joes
her stunning beauty I suppose
brought heartbreak force divorce unwise
I'll miss your corn flow'r lovely eyes
