When the Roses Come Again

Neath the shadows down the meadow

Leaves lying on each side

By the river flowers shiver

Fading dying in their pride

Someone straying long delaying

Sad the parting down the lane

I must leave you someone's saying

Till the roses come again

When the roses come again

When the roses come again

I will meet you I will greet you

When the roses come again

 

Yodel

As I wander I will ponder

On a happy bye and bye

On a summer over yonder

With joy to you and I

Do not borrow grief or sorrow

In the hours that yet remain

We shall know of that tomorrow

When the roses come again

Sunshine over clover

Blossom on the meadow wide

Some I finger sweet to linger

Everywhere on every side

Someone's roaming in the gloaming

Happy hearts that feel no pain

All their sadness turned to gladness

Now the roses come again
