Lady Rose To Her Lord - A Flower Song

 

 

 

LADY ROSE TO HER LORD

(A FLOWER SONG)

Forget me not, Sweet William

I have been as a wallflower

Waiting for you.

Viola, Pansy, and the others

Say you have been untrue.

Have you found some English Daisy

Whose petals are so fine

And fragrance so divine

As to make you forget so easily

About mine?

Or a lovely, shrinking Violet

Whose shyness enraptures you so

That you could not bear to go

And return to the lonely Rose

Who loves you so?

I am withering away with worry

Wondering if you

Have cut the stem between us,

But what can I do?

Love means so little without trust.

So, patient I shall try to be,

But remember, Sweet William

Your Rose awaits most eagerly,

My heart shall yearn

My soul shall burn

For your swift return

To me.
