Discover the story of the song > Ghost of a Rose – Blackmore’s Night

The lyrics are about a maiden who fell in love with a man by a stream and made him promise to think of her when he sees a white rose. She was wild-spirited and gentle, and they loved each other. After they parted ways, she danced into the sunset and he thought he saw glimpses of her on the moors. She asks him to keep his promise and remember her as the ghost of a rose.
