Love's garden of roses
Language: English
Come, dearest heart, 'mid the flow'rs of June, Come out in my garden so gay; I've roses, bright roses of ev'ry hue And sunshine for the whole day. There is laughter and song in my garden And a spell over all the land. Ah! Never a fairer world could be, To wander hand in hand. Come to my garden of roses; Winds whisper low. Ne'er was so sweet a garden With love aglow. Laughter and love in the sunshine; Joys all divine. Come, oh come to my garden, Dearest heart of mine. Come, dearest heart, where the flow'rs enfold A dream that is tender and true. 'Tis here we may find in a rose's heart, A message glad for me and you. There is laughter and song in my garden, And such bliss that our hearts can tell, In the world we walk together, Where love alone doth dwell. Come to my garden of roses; Winds whisper low. Ne'er was so sweet a garden With love aglow. Laughter and love in the sunshine; Joys all divine. Come, oh come to my garden, Come, dearest heart of mine.
