The Rape Of The Rose Garden

Oh, Jackie Kennedy\nShe planted those crab apple trees\nIn the Rose Garden\nThen came the Winter of '63\nFirst Lady Ellen\nShe sowed the seeds\nAt 1600 Pennsylvania\nBut now the Earth, it bleeds\nAnd the magnolia in the West Wing\nHas a melancholy cast\nThe Tom Thumb roses\nSomehow knew they would never last\nAnd Hope returns, but all is lost\nOh, those Civil War horseshoes\nAre turned upside down\nAnd the Green Man, Cernunnos\nHe wears a beleaguered frown\nThe heliotropes and lavender\nAnd borders of lapis blue\nHave gone the way of vanquished weeds\nAs the country is made anew\n(But not better)\nAnd the magnolia in the West Wing\nHas a melancholy cast\nThe Tom Thumb roses\nSomehow knew they would never last\nBeyond the colonnade\nBy the Oval Office door\nThe ghosts of past presidents\nAre fleeing to the shining shore\nThe flagstaff terrace\nIt shivers in the wind\nAs the promise of a new dawn\nIs destined to rescind\nAnd Hope returns, but all is lost\nPoor Jackie Kennedy\nShe planted those crab apple trees\nIn the Rose Garden\nThen came the Winter of '63\nAnd now what follows\nIs even of a darker hue\nSo do not ask what your country can do for you\nBut what can you do\nFor your country\nFor your country\nYour country\nYour country\nLook at your country\nIs this your country\nWhere is your country\nYour country
