Spurned By The World

Lyrics

By nature fair as an orchid With talents to match an immortal Yet so eccentric all marvel at her To her rich food stinks Silken raiment is vulgar and loathsome She knows not superiority fosters hatred For the world despises too much purity By the dim light of an old shrine She will fade away Her powder and red chamber Her youth and beauty wasted To end despite herself Defiled on the dusty road Even as flawless white jade Dropped in thе mud In vain young scions of noble houses will sigh for her In vain young scions of noblе houses will sigh for her
