The "rose" of sharon is not a rose afterall, and its closer to shrub. I find them sometimes beautiful, if groomed properly, otherwise they are just another weed that needs some DDT poured on it.

　　冬の星座
Keizo Horiuchi(堀内敬三)　作詞
Willam Shakespeare Hays 作曲
Original song: “Molly Darling” by Hays

1.
木枯らし　とだえて　さゆる空より
地上に降りしく　奇（くす）しき　光よ
ものみな　憩える　しじまの中に
きらめき　ゆれつつ　星座は　めぐる
2.
ほのぼの明（あか）りて 流るる銀河
オリオン舞い立ち　スバルは さざめく
無窮を指さす　北斗の針と
きらめき　ゆれつつ　星座はめぐる
