ROSE D'AMOUR by MATHILDE BLIND

First Line: OH HASTE WHILE ROSES BLOOM BELOW
Last Line: PLUCK, PLUCK THE ROSE OF LOVE.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; ROSES;
OH haste while roses bloom below,
Oh haste while pale and bright above
The sun and moon alternate glow,
To pluck the rose of love.

Yea, give the morning to the lark,
The nightingale its glimmering grove,
Give moonlight to the hungry dark,
But to man's heart give love!

Then haste while still the roses blow,
And pale and bright in heaven above
The sun and moon alternate glow,
Pluck, pluck the rose of love.
