by Alfred Perceval Graves (1846 - 1931)
From the red rose
Language: English
From the red rose to the apple-blossom, From the apple-blossom to the blue sky, Looking up still in the spring-tide, When none else is by, For a love born On a May morn, Long, long ago, I sigh. From the blue sky to the apple-blossom, And the roses in row, Looking down still in the spring-tide, Through my garden I go, For a love lost In a spring frost, Singing Heigh ho, heigh ho!
