The Rose – revisited

 

Come live with me and be my love,

And we will all the pleasures prove

That hills and valleys, dales and fields,

And all the craggy mountains yield.

Without a friend to love you or be loved by,

O come live with me and be my love.

Without a smile to cheer you or be cheered by,

O come live with me and be my love.

Ah! I am weary of this lonely life! —

Be with me always—be my wife!

I’ll give you fields to roam and rest beside,

The lark’s song in our home will be;

We’ll sing “0 for the wings of a dove!”

While we dwell upon our lowly bed.

The beasts of field and woodland we shall slay,

To feed our children when they cry;

There shall no harm nor danger come to you:

Just trust in me no fear should you.
